About the Club
Whanganui Mountain Bike Club’s aim is to promote the sport of mountain biking as an enjoyable, healthy sport for families and people of all ages and abilities. We plan to make information available concerning mountain biking areas, particularly in the region. We encourage conservation of native flora and fauna around designated mountain biking areas so that access for mountain biking is maintained and enhanced. We ask that riders of the tracks in the Whanganui area become members of the club. This helps with the cost of maintaining the tracks and developing new ones as land becomes available. Membership Fees are kept to a minimum and are great value at $50 for family membership. See the options for membership on our Membership page. Check out our Facebook page for more info, pictures of maps and club updates
