25.01.2022 For this Tuesday night's Rocky MTB Turkey Roll social ride we'll take a meandering scenic route to Lower Pig then do a lap of the XC short course then head out along Zamia Trail to the fire road and back. We'll see how the crew is feeling after that. See you there! 630 pm German Street car park ~ Andrew T

25.01.2022 Don’t forget our working bee tomorrow morning! The focus will be whipper snipping and taming some of the jungles the tracks are becoming after the rain. Many hands make light work

24.01.2022 Howdy all, this Tuesday night's Turkey Roll social ride will be a sneak peak of the short course and long course for the final race in this year's CQ XC race series (Sun 27th). Not telling you the routes - You have to come along to find out :) j/k race details will be posted later today. See y'all there 630 pm German St car park - bring mozzie spray ~ Andrew T

23.01.2022 2020 CQ XC series done and dusted. Big effort on a technical course from all who raced! Some beers were earnt today We'll have series points up soon.

22.01.2022 Heads up Enduro Riders. 2020 season results are up! Whilst COVID-19 shortened our season by one race the overalls were decided by the most consistent riders! Thanks again to all those club volunteers who gave up their time. Gladstone MTB Inc.. Giant Rockhampton for your continued support.... See you all in 2021!

21.01.2022 HELP!!! Good peeps, your company is requested this Saturday afternoon at 2 pm to help prep the trails for the upcoming XC race. A bit of grass trimming up Lower/middle Pig and lots of raking and removing loose rocks along Whitey, Whip and Cactus. Meet up at 2 pm German St car park, bring drinking water, enclosed shoes, and PPE. It's a bit of a hike up to Zamia Hub so if you can bring your bike, that will save time. If we can get a good turnout, we should knock it all over. See y'all there!

21.01.2022 Here’s one for the ladies! With the chance of a little bit of rain late this week the trails should be running in too shape too.

19.01.2022 With the weather still a bit dubious, we'll give the social ride a miss tonight so as not to damage the trails. ~ Andrew T

18.01.2022 2020 CQ XC Series provisional points just in case you need some extra motivation to beat a friend

16.01.2022 Don't forget to enter before Friday evening for this weekend's Capricorn Rescue Helicopter Teams Challenge. You'll be supporting a good cause and having some fun to boot.

10.01.2022 Great work to everyone that made it through today in one piece. Thanks again to Giant Rockhampton for being right behind Enduro in CQ and our club volunteers that make this all happen.

10.01.2022 For this Tuesday night's Turkey Roll, we'll revisit one of the most memorable rides of 2020 - Zamia Trail to Fork 4 and back. It was a great adventure and heaps of fun. We made a video of the ride so you can see what to expect https://youtu.be/rBOA3oCYsxQ - Hope to see a good size group again, you won't regret it :) Departs German St car park 6.45 pm ~ Andrew T

09.01.2022 Thursday night social ride - this Thursday @ 6:30pm. Meet at German St carpark and Mick will be your lead. No set route but will keep to Green and blue trails.

09.01.2022 Ok XC racers - here is your longer track for next weekend. A singletrack climb with a technical descent and a main passing area around the start finish. True short course with elevated heart rates to match! Get those entries in!

08.01.2022 The new jump line is bedding in well after some Christmas rain! Come and check it out for yourself. As always, give it an easy run down first to check the jumps out, then SEND IT and have some fun We’re still chasing a name for this track, so if you’ve got suggestions then send them through!

06.01.2022 Don't forget that when you're done voting on Saturday we have the club AGM on Sunday at 2pm under the mango trees at German Street. All current members are encouraged to attend and hear where the club is headed, but more importantly, you can have a say by taking on a role in the club. Like racing? Join the race committee. Like trail maintenance? Become the Trail Boss! See as many of you there as possible (with a chair). Dan.

06.01.2022 For this Tuesday night's Turkey Roll, we'll head up Finley's and down Megatron, then up Jack and down the full Pig. A solid ride with a bit of technical stuff, you'll need good lights. The mozzies might be hungry so don't forget the spray. See y'all there, German Street car park 630pm ~ Andrew T #rockymtb

05.01.2022 It’s pretty hard to have a bad day on the bike in First Turkey and today proved to be no different solid effort by all the riders that knowingly put themselves through a full race run of Jackhammer (madness)! Let’s do it all again tomorrow at Gladstone MTB Inc. #rockymtb #firstturkey #visitrockhampton #myrockhampton #explorerockhampton

05.01.2022 Podium snaps from Saturday’s Gravity Enduro. Well done to all riders involved!

05.01.2022 For this Tuesday night's Turkey Roll, we'll head up Finley's, down Pig/Whip, then out Zamia Trail to the fire road and back. Thrills aplenty guaranteed! Mozzie spray recommended. See y'all there, 645 pm @ German St car park ~ Andrew T

05.01.2022 Some big news for cycling in Australia!

04.01.2022 Big things are afoot in First Turkey. BC Excavations have started digging our new jump line! It's gonna be killer work should wrap up early next week and the trail will be opened when we have had some rain and the features have bedded in. In the meantime hang tight and start rain dancing. Please stay off it until it is officially opened.

04.01.2022 Race HQ is set up and good to go

03.01.2022 Just a heads-up re a bit of trail maintenance overnight: The shallow entrance to the bridge near Seesaw Hub has had all the crazy rocks dug out and rock armour laid down to help prevent erosion. There is still some tidy up and new drainage to go. The rock armour might be a bit powdery until a few bikes go over it. The new section will bed in better after some rain. It started to spit as we were packing up but nothing came of it :(

03.01.2022 Podium photos from yesterday. Well done again all those who podiumed!

02.01.2022 After holding the club AGM over the weekend, we are pleased to announce the new committee for 2021! President - Jake Keleher Vice President - Mark Campbell Treasurer - Graham Hemson...
