Tableland Cycle Sports Inc. hang out 75km west of Cairns in Northern Queensland. After years of plugging away they have gained permission from the Department of Environment to start digging trails at Mt Baldy in the Herberton Range State Forest, and create the Atherton Forest Mtb Park.

A core of enthusiastic and keen members of the North Canterbury Cycling Club are actively involved in developing and enhancing the mtb area allocated in Ashley Rakahuri Regional Park - ARRP.

New England Mountain Bikers Inc are an enthusiastic group of mountain bikers based out of Armidale, on the New England Tablelands of North West NSW Australia. The club was established 20+ years ago to develop trails and promote mountain biking across the Northern Tablelands including around Armidale, Guyra, Uralla and Walcha.

The Ruapehu Mountain Bike Club and Ohakune 2000 in partnership with the local iwi - Ngāti Rangi signed a memorandum of understanding for the development of the Te Pepe Bike Park, situated right next to the start gate of the Mountains to Sea Cycle Trail.

In their draft Conservation Management Strategy, DOC Southland sought suggestions for mountain bike access on sections of the Kepler and Hollyford Tracks. Mountain Bike NZ, Trail Fund NZ and Te Anau Cycling Inc. have made submissions in support of winter access to the Kepler, plus upgrading two connecting pest control tracks to enable a fabulous multi-day figure-8 trip.

Until 10 years ago there was no single track riding in the entire Northern Rivers region of NSW. Byron Bay Farmstay created IMBA quality mtb trails on a 300-acre farm five minutes from Byron Bay. Unfortunately in 2023 the Cape Byron Mtb Park is now closed.

The Waitohu Valley and Mt Thompson mountain bike trails are situated in the foot hills of the Tararuas, between Manakau and Ōtaki.

During the early part of 2013, Ground Effect took on a project to extend to the Drac' Flat Track (try saying that fast after a couple of cold ones) at Craigieburn Forest Park. The Craigieburn trails lie just an hour and a half (by car) west of Christchurch in the foothills of the Southern Alps.

The Margaret River Off Road Cycling Association has created flowing lines in a part of the world better known for wine and waves.

The Harakeke Mountain Bike Park officially opened back in March 2012. But since then Rangitikei iwi Ngāti Apa has resumed ownership of the land and the Wanganui Mtb Club have a new home at Hyltons Pit and the Araheke Mtb Park.

The Rārangi Pump Track is now, well pumping. Damian Stones and mates, with support from the Rārangi Residents Association and cash from Ground Effect have created this little piece of fun in Marlborough between Picton and Blenheim.

Kāpiti Mountain Bike Club has been developing tracks on DOC land at Whareroa Farm, off SH1 just north of Paekākāriki.
