Mountain bike club on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Welcome to the Garigal Gorillas Page

The club was formed in 2017 to support the ever growing mountain bike community around the Northern Beaches. The main goal of the club is to help develop and maintain sustainable mountain biking trails and bring together the large mountain bike community.

We aim to establish relationships and work closely with Council, National Parks, Landowners and other local users for the future of mountain biking in the area. 

THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED - INDIVIDUALS, SPONSORS AND THE COMMUNITY BEHIND US.

Preserving Nature

As a key user of the vast bushlands around the Northern Beaches, we are one of the community groups most engaged in preserving it. We love and respect the bush, and we know from experience around the world that mountain biking and bush lands should co-exist.

Events

Getting together as a mountain bike community creates valuable friendships, assists in getting people outdoors and supports the growth of mountain biking. The Garigal Gorillas love bringing people together who love riding bikes.

Community

It's about community. With literally thousands of mountain bikers in the area, the club was formed to help build and support the growing mountain bike community around the Sydney area.
