Dunsborough Cycle Club

Dunsborough Cycle Club (DCC) is a community cycling club based in Dunsborough in Western Australia's South West, operating as part of the Dunsborough & Districts Country Club. While its name sounds like a traditional road cycling club, DCC has a particularly strong mountain biking identity, combining local trail stewardship, social riding, events and grassroots MTB with a wider community of road and recreational cyclists. The club's home is the Dunsborough MTB Skills Development Park, tucked into bushland surrounding the Dunsborough & Districts Country Club on Gifford Road. The compact network packs a surprising amount of riding into the area, with named trails, technical features, a pump track and links into the wider riding opportunities around Dunsborough. DCC has played a major role in creating and looking after these trails. The MTB Skills Development Park is owned by the City of Busselton and leased to the Country Club, with Dunsborough Cycle Club identified as the trail provider responsible for maintaining the network. The club has historically used a voluntary pay-to-ride contribution model to help fund trail maintenance. The Dunsborough trails also connect into the neighbouring Meelup mountain bike network, opening up significantly more riding beyond the Country Club itself. Cape Mountain Bikers specifically identifies Dunsborough Cycling Club as being based at the Country Club and notes that its trail network links with the Meelup trails. Trail building and maintenance remain an important part of the local riding culture. Volunteers regularly work on drainage, berms, jumps, rock features and other trail improvements around both Dunsborough and Meelup, helping keep the network evolving for local riders and visitors. The club has a long history of organising social rides, including mountain bike outings around the local trails and surrounding South West. Night rides are also part of the mix, taking advantage of the extensive bush tracks and trails around Dunsborough. DCC is also one of the local organisations behind the Down South MTB Festival, working alongside other Western Australian MTB clubs and organisations to deliver a weekend of mountain bike racing in the region. The festival has included rounds of the WA XCO State Series and family-friendly racing across junior, senior and graded categories, with the Dunsborough Country Club providing a natural event hub. While mountain biking is central to the club, Dunsborough has an active road cycling community too. Club riders have appeared in WA road racing and national-level competition, so I'd consider DCC a broader cycling community rather than describing it exclusively as a mountain bike club. What really sets Dunsborough Cycle Club apart is its connection between riding and trail stewardship. Joining or supporting the club isn't simply about accessing organised rides or events – it helps the volunteer community responsible for maintaining one of Dunsborough's key local MTB networks. Whether you're looking to explore Dunsborough's singletrack, connect into the Meelup trails, join a social or night ride, try MTB racing, get involved in trail maintenance or meet other cyclists in the South West, Dunsborough Cycle Club is a great connection to the local riding community.
