INSURANCE

All here at RideAus highly recommend every rider join AUSCYCLING. Whether it’s a social, race, family membership there is an option available for you that covers you in almost all areas you will ride your MTB. Insuring you have personal indemnity insurance is a great piece of mind to have. Occasionally we fall off our bikes and break bones or damage ourselves rendering us unable to work for a while. Having insurance that assists you in these times is a no brainer, right? Head on over to https://www.mtba.org.au/membership/

Ambulance cover - Don’t leave home without out it. Mountain biking takes us well off the main roads and deep into some epic terrain. When things go pear shaped it’s great to know help isn’t far away and it’s not going to place financial strain on you or your family. Ambulance cover is a must have as a mountain biker for a little as $60 p/annum. *If you have private health insurance this should be covered for you, check with your provider.

MY BIKE?

Helensburgh off road cycling club - Rigid, XC, Short travel dual suspension or your good old Enduro weapon all are welcome here and a bucket load of fun. Even the trusty old BMX can find a few jumps and close by skate park here. Load the family up as there’s something for everyone in this quaint little town. Kid friendly for all ages and abilities.

Sutherland Shire cycling club - Rigid, XC, Short travel dual suspension or mid travel Enduro can all be a blast here. Great central location only minutes to railway station and hwy access, this small urban playground packs a punch. Suitable for all the family and almost all bike types can have some fun here. Bring the family and you can even dust off the roady on the purpose built road circuit.

Mt Stromlo- Canberra - Whilst you can potentially ride a hard tail down most of the trails on offer,

We highly recommend 130mm travel bike or above as a minimum for the flow trails. Anything above that is well suited to almost all the trails. Yes, a full blown Enduro bike or DH bike is best suited to the Black Diamond and jump lines but don’t let those factors deter you from the other great trails on offer here.
