To club or not to club

MTB Clubs are popular but not for everyone. Ask a couple of mountain bikers and you will find very divergent views on MTB clubs.

All MTB clubs are not made equal, you need to check them out to be sure that they will offer you what you want. Some riders are looking for ride buddies, others are looking for any old club where they can get their racing licenses and there are those looking for a club that is actually doing something useful with all the subs. Bigger is not always better so be sure to join on some of the club rides first to see if you fit in with the crowd.

If you are a trail riding MTB type then we can definitely recommend AMARIDER. This is not a formal club as such but rather a mountain bike advocacy group (African Mountain Bike Association) who offer some club benefits like license registration, rides and trail building days. There are various levels of membership and you can be guaranteed that your cash will be contributing to building and maintaining more mountain bike trails.
