Let's List Our MTB clubs.

This is for the chap asking why there aren’t many MTB clubs.

Let’s list what we DO have.

I’m in Southampton and I’m in two:

http://www.dorsetroughriders.co.uk (Dorset & Purbecks – base Broadstone Leisure Centre)

Over to YOU.

Looked at the Dorset rough riders website when we had a holiday down there, looks great, wished I lived there rather than muddy Northants 🙁

I’m in (south) Leeds and ride with this lot.

In my area (Surrey / Berks / Hants borders)

Berks on Bikes
West Drayton
VCGH (road club but with active MTB section)
Tunnel Hill Trolls
Muddy Moles

Last two aren’t really clubs, but are loose collectives, so no committees or meetings, but they do have forums and organised regular rides

I’m with these http://www.thewoollybacks.co.uk/content.php best bike related thing i’ve done!

Glentress trailfairies- practically a riding group, sometimes we dig oles.
The Artist Formerly Known As TBC Night Rides
Random People Wot Northwind Has Met At Races.

Glasgow Mountain Bike Club

But, I’m moving to Sheffield, so recommendations for that area would be greatly appreciated.

I’m in Malvern Cyclesport http://www.bc-clubs.co.uk/malverncyclesport/ – the club with the best riders in the country (literally).

I am in one at Bolsover, Derbyshire 🙂 http://www.bolsoveranddistrictcyclingclub.org.uk/abouttheclub.htm

Not really a club, more a group of mates but: Combe Raiders 😀

There is at least two that I know of in Fife; the Meedies[/url] and MukyRiderz – the latter active on Facebook.

+1 for Glasgow Mountain Bike Club

Castle Bikes in Caerphilly have a proper club.

I’m in the local one, Moray Mountain Bike Club[/url]

Oh and Fanylion, but we don’t talk about that 😉

Lincolnshire – Louth Area Mountain Bikers (LAMB) http://www.louthnet.com/LAMB

Derwent Valley All Terrain Club [/url]
Based sort of just south of the Peak District/Derby area!

Could stw maybe have a clubs tab on the top. Clubs could be submitted, vetted then linked up on a google map by location. Like the trails bit. Just a thought.

MBRO35[/url] – not a subs paying club but a very decent bunch who like to rides their bikes.

I am not sure you could vet the guys I ride with ( it’s like herding cats organising a ride) and as much as I hate change, that’s a fine idea.

BucksMTB friendly, inclusive and not just limited to Bucks.
