Are you looking for somewhere, in the local area, to ride your bike with other
like minded riders?
If you answered “yes” to these questions then why not
apply for membership to the Toowoomba Motorcycle Club (TMCC).
First Club Run -
January 30th 1915
The Toowoomba
Motorcycle Club Inc was founded in 1911 making it one of the oldest Motorcycle
Clubs in Australia. The TMCC was also one of four founding clubs of the Auto
Cycle Union, now know as Motorcycling Queensland.
In 1974 the TMCC was
given a lease by the Toowoomba Auto Club to conduct Moto Cross at Echo Valley,
which the club did for over 15 years. During this period the Club built and
established what was regarded as the best MX track in Australia. The Toowoomba
Moto Cross Club (no affiliation to the Toowoomba Motorcycle Club Inc) is now the
host Club at Echo Valley.
For the past 40 years the roots of the TMCC
have been entrenched in trail and enduro riding, and promoting Moto Cross was
just one element of motorcycling sport that we promoted. Over the years we have
promoted Road Bike events, Trials events, State Enduro Championships, State Flat
Track Championships, and of course trail riding activities.
The Club now
mainly consists of ex Moto Cross and Enduro riders who have registered Enduro
bikes, and we are looking for more members. The Club now owns 250 acres of
land located at Murphys Creek for which is available for club members to
ride. In the past we have had fully supported Club trail rides to Double
Island point travelling via the State forest areas at Blackbutt, Kenilworth,
Imbil and the Great Sandy National Park. We have travelled to Woodenbong
in Northern NSW for 2-day Club supported rides, and members have recently
travelled as far as Mt Buller and Cape York.
We also travel as a
group to some of the Darling Downs trail rides which are supported by Dalby
Moto. In the future we are planning to have members undertake Qld
Ambulance first aid courses to ensure the safety of our members. As we are
affiliated with Motorcycling Queensland, any larger open rides we obtain MQ
permits. The Club also has links with Australian Motorcycle Search and Rescue
(AMSAR).
If you are keen to join us we have Club meetings which are held
on the 4th Monday of each month located at the new club rooms at the
Toowoomba Tennis Assn on the corner of Water and James Street Toowoomba
commencing at 7.30pm. Annual family membership is only $50.00 and
single rider $40.00. If you have any questions please feel free to
contact us.
