23.01.2022 **Important Notice** Evan & his Ground Creation crew will be starting trail maintenance works on our 2 town link trails, Lickety Split & Penny Lane as of today.... We will be staging the works to minimise trail closure, but we ask you to stay off the new work until the bunting & signage have been removed. This work would not be possible without the grant monies provided by the Mt Emerald Wind Farm community grant scheme. Thanks also to our small but dedicated committee/club for ensuring that our Bike Park & surrounding trails are kept in good condition, but we need your support. Join our club, attend a trail care workshop, lobby a councillor or just ride your bike. Together we can turn Atherton into the biking mecca it deserves to be See more

22.01.2022 Improving aerodynamic forms usually means adding weight. To offset the added mass required for aero improvements in the new TCR frameset, we used cutting-edge c...omposite materials, laser cutting and advanced robotic layup assembly. The result is the most efficient and aerodynamic TCR ever. Learn more here: www.giant-bicycles.com/au/tcr #TotalRaceBike #RideUnleashed

20.01.2022 Giant Reign 29 2 (2020) $3,999 Medium Frame - LUCKY LAST ONE From the bike park to weekend enduros, daily trail sessions to rowdy backcountry adventures, this all-new full-suspension 29er is ready for action. With a lightweight, strong and dependable ALUXX SL frameset, Reign 29 helps you conquer climbs and rail rugged descents with more confidence and control. Its engineered with progressive new geometry thats optimized for its 29-inch wheels. That means shorter chainstays,... a longer toptube, and headtube/seattube angles that put you in the perfect position to slay all types of singletrack. The updated Maestro suspension gives you 146mm of smooth, active rear travel that features a new trunnion mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm. Add in a host of other aggressive trail riding technologies, including a cleanly routed dropper seatpost, the latest Giant WheelSystem with Boost hub spacing, and tubeless tires set up right out of the box, and its ready to rip when you are.

19.01.2022 We've been testing Giant's new trail bike, the Trance X, and it's an absolute belter. Not only is this the most contemporary Trance yet, it's also the most exci...ting too. The geometry on this bike is right up to the minute, and in some ways it makes the Specialized Stumpjumper look a little old school. Even the Trek Fuel EX is a touch conservative in comparison. There are also no doubts that alongside the current Trance 29, the new Trance X is a better trail bike in almost every way. Here's everything you need to know: https://flowmountainbike.com//first-ride-review-2021-gian/

18.01.2022 Deano's Dragstrip, trail 1, Atherton mountain bike park is undergoing a little bit of refurbishment. The team have been hard at work rebuilding, tweaking and ...refining the old trail alignment. It's bigger and better now. It is also still under construction so please respect the work space. We are having some light, intermittent rain which is adding the perfect amount of moisture so that when the trail is open in a couple days, we will need many bikes and riders to roll in the new surface. Whose in?

18.01.2022 First up in the 2021 Pinkbike Field Test is the Giant Bicycles Trance X Advanced Pro 29 0 with Fox Live Valve suspension. Full review https://pinkbike.link/g...ianttrance The latest version of the Trance X is a 135mm-travel trail bike with a 150mm fork and 29" wheels that Giant describes as "one trail bike to do it all," and it's based around an all-new frame with modern (and very adjustable) geometry. What do you think? #pinkbike #mtb #mountainbiking #bikelife #giantbikes #pbfieldtest #fieldtest #mtbtech

18.01.2022 Giant Trance 3 (2020) $3,399 Medium Frame - LUCKY LAST ONE! - SOLD!!! Small Frame - LUCKY LAST ONE! - SOLD!!!... This is a trail bike that thrives in the most challenging conditions. The frameset is engineered with a lightweight yet super strong and stiff ALUXX SL aluminium frame. It has updated Maestro rear suspension featuring a trunnion-mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm to soak up bumps small and large. You get 140mm of smooth, active rear travel that gives you the traction and control you need to be one with the trail. Frame geometry is designed around its 27.5 wheels, which deliver both quickness and control on rugged terrain. Up front, you have a 150mm suspension fork for even more confidence. Just spot your line, point it and go.

11.01.2022 Giant Reign SX (2020) Upgraded to SRAM 12 Speed $4499 Medium Frame - LUCKY LAST ONE This amped up version of the Reign enduro and all-mountain machine is made for riders who gravitate toward steep, rough and aggressive descents. It offers a longer travel 180mm fork and robust components that make it suitable for unforgiving terrain. The super strong and stiff ALUXX SL aluminium frame features updated geometry with a longer cockpit thats designed to optimise its 27.5 wheels. The trunnion-mount Maestro rear suspension system offers 160mm of smooth, active travel and is bolstered by the new Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm, which is lighter and stronger than the previous aluminium design. If hammering through rock gardens and flying down steep descents is your idea of the perfect ride, then Reign SX is the machine for you.

10.01.2022 There are lots of race bikes out there, but only one could earn the honour of being BICYCLING magazine's top choice for the year. Read the full story to see why the TCR Advanced SL 0 Disc is their pick for Best New Race Bike! https://bit.ly/3eoY9kj #TotalRaceBike #RideUnleashed

06.01.2022 Tableland Cycle Sports 2020 Presidents report - Wow, what a year to remember ( or forget ). What started out as a year looming with uncertainty & doubt, has def...initely finished on a positive note for Cycling on the Tablelands. We had our AGM early in the year, where a new President & committee were elected via Zoom. Although COVID stopped us from conducting races, which are one of our main revenue streams, we were still able to continue our monthly Trail Care Workshops, albeit under strict social distancing & sanitisation protocols. We racked up over 600 volunteer hours for the year, which under the circumstances is quite amazing & something to be extremely proud of. We also purchased a lot of new machinery as well as hand tools & PPE. We will have our 2021 Trail Care dates online soon. As well as the regular maintenance, TCS has spent over $40,000.00 in the Bike Park & link trails this year, both constructing new trails & refurbishing old. $30,000.00 of this was acquired from grant monies & the balance from TCS. We would like to sincerely thank the Mt Emerald Wind Farm Community grant scheme & the Qld State Govn. Sport & Rec grant scheme for providing us with the dollars. DES ( QParks ) have also made available some "Economic Stimulus" money to recap/repair some deteriorated sections on our Green Trail network. We envisage this work will start early in 2021. Our permanent Elevate XCM 8hr course has now been signposted & can be ridden anytime, its even on Strava. Rather than over commit ourselves next year race wise, we will be hosting 3 races minimum. These will be Elevate ( date TBC ), King/Queen of the Mtn Enduro ( date TBC ) & we are also hosting a round of the Fox Superflow Enduro series ( June 5/6 ). We also conducted a few Junior Skills clinics & hope to do more next year as well as a Junior XC race series. Our club memberships have almost quadrupled in the last couple of months thanks to our newly appointed Membership Officer Steve King. We are now pleased to be offering free annual TCS club membership ( details on the website ). There are still a few bugs to iron out which we hope to have sorted in the next couple of weeks. We have started merchandising our new Ride Atherton logo with socks available for now & some cool looking jerseys & casual shirts coming soon. As I said at the beginning, we have definately finished the year positively with lots of grand things planned for 2021. I would sincerely like to thank all our sponsors ( past & present ), committee members, volunteers & supporters for helping us to develop & improve Cycling on the Tablelands, but we can do more. I believe we are sitting on the cusp of our region becoming the biking mecca it could & should be. It's not just the bike enthusiasts who will benefit, its the region as a whole...but we need your help by either joining our club, attending a Trail Care Workshop, following us on social media or better still, buy a bike & experience one of our many trails. Happy New Bike Year! Bret "Chook" Piccone TCS Club President

06.01.2022 The Tablelands are so beautiful for a morning ride. 24 of us this morning, that's a lot of coffee, bikes, bike repairs - all spent in our local area.
