Meet new people. Explore new trails
The club holds regular social rides that present a great opportunity to meet fellow riders and explore trails that you may not have previously traversed. It’s also a great place to hone your skills and grow in confidence.
Thursday Evenings – Nerang MTB Trails
Skill/fitness Required:
Confident on Blue graded trails. Comfortable riding 15+kms over 2 hours.
When:
6:00pm – 8:00pm every second Thursday evening. Meet at 5:45pm for 6pm roll out.
Where:
Hope Street, Nerang. Meet at the GCMTB Container located next to the toilet block at the Velodrome.
Details:
Join us for the fortnightly club evening social ride. We’ll do around 15km of riding so it would be good if you can bring along a reasonable level of fitness, although for those that want to give Night Riding a try we’ll cater for your skill level and ability through the ride. Before undertaking night riding, you should have a good set of basic MTB skills.
Usual safety gear and water is a must. We also recommend two good lights – one for your helmet and one for your bars, but if you only have one you should still be okay, provided you’re not intending to ride at warp speed.
