The Canterbury Mountain Biking Club was formed in the 1980's [date to be verified] and comprises approximately 100 members.

Membership subscription is for a rolling 12 month period.

There are four elected positions: President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary. There are also a number of elected commitee members. 

The committee organises a ride list and social events.

The Annual General Meeting is held in April.

Sunday Club Rides

Organised rides are held every second Sunday, and are usually excursions into the hills of Canterbury, Banks Peninsula  and various national parks that are within a couple of hours  drive from Christchurch. Many of the rides can be viewed as a faster form of tramping: climbing hills for marvellous views; exploring back country farm tracks; following rivers or well known tracks.

While a reasonable level of fitness is assumed for most trips, club rides are social and and care is taken to ensure the pace is reasonble for all those involved.

Weekly Rides

The Club runs two weekly rides: One up Rapaki track on a Tuesday night, and the other through Bottle Lake Forrest on a Thursday evening. See the Ride List for more details.

Club Nights

Club nights are currently on hold - It turns out Mountain Bikers are more interested in biking than meetings!

However, we are currently meeting regularly every Tuesday at the "Brick Works" Pub on Centaurus  Rd as part of the Tuesday night ride.
