About Us

The Manawatū Mountain Bike Club (MMBC) was founded in 1988. Since that time, the number of mountain bikers in the region has increased dramatically.  Our mission is to provide an environment of fun, friendship and challenge through a wide range of mountain bike activities that suit all abilities. We coordinate the local sporting, recreational and advocacy aspects of mountain biking.

 

The club is affiliated to Cycling NZ and MTBNZ and actively supports the NZ TrailFund.

The Club won the Supreme Award at the 2017 Trustpower Palmerston North Community Awards.

The Club also won MTBNZ Club of the year in 2019.
