Welcome
Woolgoolga mountain bike club (WMTBC) is based out of the beautiful NSW north Coast town of Woolgoolga. We are only a young club but have very strong local culture of enthusiastic riders.
We pride ourselves on being a grassroots club that is more about the ride than the strava results.
Our region is blessed with some of the best topography on the East Coast which offers up a huge range of riding possibilities. Whether you are a total beginner or seasoned rider our region has trails to suit.
Woolgoolga is 25 km’s North of Coffs Harbour and has a perfect year round climate that allows for great riding conditions in any month.
ABOUT US
WMTBC actively nurture’s young riders and we run free skills workshops for kids on a weekly basis. We also help co-ordinate an MTB program with the local high school that has become hugely successful.
Our club strives to be inclusive and supportive and are very proud to have both Male and Females coaches who are certified and passionate about seeing riders progress in the sport in a safe and fun environment.
Junior Development
Junior Development is a key priority of our club and you only need to take one ride in our area to see how many stoked groms are out on their bikes. We would argue that we have the highest ratio of kids who can wheelie per capita in all of NSW
The Club runs weekly MTB skills sessions during Term 1 and Term 4 for small and big wheeled riders. Sessions are based at Woolgoolga High School and at the Wedding Bells Forest MTB trails. All riders require an AusCycling membership. Recreational and racing licenses are available and Active Kids Vouchers are accepted. AusCycling also has a free 4 week trial for new members.
Our coaches are certified through AusCycling, have current working with children checks and First Aid. They volunteer their time to foster the next generation of rippers and are just as stoked to watch the kids progress as the groms are to attend.
We also work with Woolgoolga High School to run an MTB program as part of school sport which has become so successful that numbers are now capped.
Did you know you can join Woolgoolga Mountain Bike Club using your families Active Kids Vouchers?
