You Yangs Mountain Bike Club

You Yangs Mountain Bike Club (You Yangs MTB Inc) is a volunteer-powered mountain bike club dedicated to supporting, improving and maintaining the renowned You Yangs Mountain Bike Park, located between Melbourne and Geelong in Victoria. Established around a shared passion for the You Yangs trails, the not-for-profit club works alongside Parks Victoria to help create and maintain sustainable mountain bike trails while supporting the riding community that uses them. The club has been actively building and maintaining trails since 2010, with volunteers contributing countless hours of trail work, machinery, expertise and fundraising to keep the network riding well. Trail stewardship is at the heart of the organisation, with funds raised through memberships, events and club activities directed back into the mountain bike park. The You Yangs offers more than 50 kilometres of designated mountain bike trails across two distinct riding areas. Kurrajong Plantation provides flatter and more approachable trails suitable for beginners, families and cross-country riders, while Stockyards steps things up with rocky terrain, technical singletrack, challenging cross-country trails and dedicated downhill runs. As a result, the club has a strong connection with both cross-country and gravity riding, supporting a trail network designed to cater for riders from beginners through to highly experienced mountain bikers. Shuttle days are a particularly popular part of club life, giving riders an opportunity to enjoy repeated runs of the Stockyards gravity trails while meeting other members of the local riding community. These are social fundraising days rather than simply a commercial shuttle service, with proceeds helping support the trails. The club also has a long association with mountain bike racing and events, including cross-country and downhill competition. Riders representing You Yangs MTB compete across grassroots, State and National-level mountain biking, while club events provide another way to bring riders together and raise funds for the network. Importantly, riders don't need to be racers to become part of the You Yangs community. Membership is equally relevant to recreational riders who simply love riding the park and want to contribute towards its future. Volunteering provides another way to become involved. Trail maintenance and improvement are fundamental to the club, with volunteers working alongside land managers to create sustainable trails while protecting the environmental values of the regional park. Whether you're looking to ride cross-country singletrack, tackle technical descents, enjoy a shuttle day, get involved in MTB events or put something back into the trails you ride, You Yangs Mountain Bike Club provides a direct way to become part of the community behind one of Victoria's best-known mountain bike destinations.
