Mountain biking is the primary activity of the RATS Cycling Club but brings together mountain bike, cyclocross & bike trials riders of all ages, genders, and abilities in southeast Queensland.

The club aims to build strong relationships with local councils and other stakeholders to promote the development and maintenance of MTB trails in South-East Queensland to promote mountain biking as a healthy, family-oriented, and environmentally friendly recreation activity and sport.

Part of the club’s activity involves running annual events including the Chicks in the Sticks women-only enduro, the Bayview Blast XCM event and the Summer Sprints series. The RATS strongly support women’s cycling, with separate women’s racing presented through the year and women-only social rides.
