DSMRA Townsville, QLD

Welcome To DSMRA Townsville

About the Townsville Branch:

The Townsville DSMRA branch has been in operation since 2000 - thus entering it’s 12th year of operation.. Riding environments vary from local pine forestry’s, sugar cane & pineapple paddocks, the beach and lush rainforest trails, through to western outback cattle country.

Riding in our region is limited because of the tropical monsoonal (wet) season. Large group rides generally wind up by early October as the heat in our region is rather oppressive and offers risks of heat stroke for riders if under duress. In respect of our riding environments we also attempt not to ride the same route more than once or twice a year to allow for regeneration and we will not rip-up trails that have been soaked by rain.

Of late, the Townsville branch operates approx 8 organised rides between April to October with flexibility for more, dependent of weather… The last few years our multiple day adventure rides in particular, has been reduced due to excessive rain periods. Main access routes which would have been normally passable by mid year had been unpassable because of flooded rivers and creeks etc.
On average our day rides have approx 45 riders attend, however on intro days and sometimes first rides of the year numbers can average between 60 to 80 riders.
Adventure rides are smaller due to fuel limitations…the average adventure ride consists of 10 bikes..

DSMRA Cairns, QLD

Welcome To DSMRA Cairns

About the Cairns Branch:

The Cairns branch of the DSMRA celebrates its 12 year in 2012. In this time the club has been hosting rides around the North Queensland area from Cairns to the Tip.

North Queensland has a rich history in mining and many of the areas that were once mined are now very remote and off the beaten track. DSMRA Cairns rides visit areas such as Maytown, Stannary Hills, Herberton, Irvinebank and Chillagoe and our people are therefore educated in a subtle way about the history of their region. Many of the historic mining areas in North Queensland are only accessible by off-road motorcycle or 4WD.Our current calendar consists of up to ten rides per year. These are generally one, two and three day point to point rides, also incorporating one to two one day closed course rides. The DSMRA Cairns branch offers a riding experience to all members of the community. Our point to point rides are graded according to difficulty and offer challenges for all riders from beginners right through to veteran ex-racers. Our closed-course rides offer a rare opportunity for juniors and unregistered / unlicensed riders to legally and safely experience off-road motorcycling.
