Next Big Ride - Sunday 4th Janiuary - see details below! Sign up for an account at Wiggle then come back here and use this link to help YOUR club earn some pennies! Xmas Bike? New Parts? Visit and tell them we sent you. They're on Ponteland Road just north of the Cowgate Roundabout. NMBC members can get generous discounts (card required). A few other local shops now offer this - ask the current members. Get a New Member's point of view here - just e-mail snowsurfer2000@blueyonder.co.uk and get an insight from our first full-time member, Keith. First Mass Ride short story here 16th August First Full Sunday Ride story here 19th August Who rode when and where? - listing here It's been a long time coming, but now, thanks to a small group of local volunteers, there is a Newcastle upon Tyne based mountain bike club which can cater for all classes of rider from absolute novice kerb bumper to (potential) Downhill racer!
This website is intended to become your first stop for discovering where you can ride, when you can ride and who with in the Newcastle/Tyneside/Northumbria area. As this is a new site to go with a new Club,we intend that it will develop slowly with as much relevant content as we find time to include to enable any level of rider to hook up with like-minded souls and hopefully get a bit more enjoyment out of the many and varied areas of our chosen hobby/sport. Membership of Team NMBC is free. That means you can spend your cash on a helmet if you don't have one, and you're set. It'll be great to meet you, so have a click around and get in touch. Don't tell yourself you won't fit in, we're just like you, except some of us wear different heads once mounted on an MTB. Don't be shy - we've all done that and it makes it even harder to get started. We're a very easygoing, compact group and we'll take care of anyone who's interested enough to get in touch. Before Winter struck we'd had five ladies come out with us, so don't hold back because you thought it was "lads only".

If you want to ride with us, and can't get through to info@newcastlemtb.co.uk, then e-mail Derek here
or you should find the squad at or near The Wheatsheaf Hotel at the Asda Superstore (Benton) end of the Great Lime Road, Forest Hall around 19.00 on most Thursday evenings, rain or shine! That's the end furthest away from the Nestle/Findus Factory. Bring a waterproof. And you MUST bring lights for winter rides!
NEXT SUNDAY RIDE 4th January 08:30am - See www.midaircrisis.co.uk web site for full details. We'll listen to requests from some newer riders and see what the feeling is. There will be more "taster rides" to let you see what you'll be faced with on some of the Sunday rides on manmade trails, but we'll have to mix those rides up with other, less exacting local rides to try and keep riders of all abilities happy. PLEASE take note - some of the Sunday rides are a little demanding, and there can be an increased risk of injury. You take responsibility for that risk yourself!
Harder rides are being tackled over the winter months as only the more hardened riders are likely to turn out in extreme conditions. Or prove me wrong!
