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 3 elected positions [President, Treasurer and Secretary] and a club committee that organises a ride list and social events. The Annual General Meeting is held in April.

Organised 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.

 Club Nights

 These are held on the second Tuesday of the month at Blue Jean Cuisine on the corner of Colombo and Brougham Sts.
