Rocky Trail Entertainment has been appointed to manage a special mountain biking milestone event for the Sunshine Coast Council, which will be celebrating exactly 10 years until the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
People can get on their bikes at Sugar Bag Road Mountain Bike Trails on 23 July from 10am – 3pm for an action-packed day of FREE demos, trails and #HaveAGo sessions – scroll down for more info and the booking link!
