We are based in the famous Blue Mountains west of Sydney NSW. We ride once a month at various locations and also include some 2 day rides and camp overs.
We are predominately a ‘walk and talk’ club which caters for all ages of riders and encourages families to participate. Our rides are usually easy to moderate but we do have some rides that are a bit more challenging. New members, visitors and associates are always welcome.
From an initial meeting of 26 riders in November 1980 the Blue Mountains Trail Riders Club was formed. Our first ride was a 350km trek from Springwood to Forbes. We raised $650 in six days for RDA [Riding for the Disabled].
The club was run successfully for many years reaching a membership of 80 riders but as the spread of Urban Housing started encroaching on many horse properties the numbers started to decline.
The club has continued to host rides with a small membership and happy to say that Club Memberships are growing.
