New Guy - Hi - Sutherland Shire?
Hi All
Been looking around at some of the numerous MTB clubs/MTB sites on the internet and NoBMoB really appears to be a step above (no disrespect to other clubs/associations - just my high level view), especially in terms of inviting new members on board.
I could not see any dedicated MTB clubs in the Sutherland Shire, therefore conscious that NoBMoB appears to have riders from all across Sydney; I was wondering if there are any riders from the Sutherland Shire who are NoBMoB members and ride at NoBMoB events on the weekend/week days or sometimes actively train in the Shire or weekend trial rides in the Shire?
Look forward to getting involved and being an active member.

Hi Glen
if you are looking for clubs in the Shire that race then your only option is Sutherland Shire Cycling Club who do dirt crits at Waratah Park. If you are looking for a XC series with a club, your closest options are going to be Wollongong MTB Club which races at Appin or Western Sydney MTB club which races at Yellomundee. These clubs also have DH comps as well
If you aren't into the racing scene (yet) then websites such as this can hook you up with social rides, you'll just have to keep an eye out for rides or post one yourself. By the way there are many non nthn beach members on this site.
Another way to hook up with riders in the Shire is to attend the Royal National Park maintenance days. held 3rd Saturday of every month. Not only will you be contributing to keeping the trails we ride in good nic but you'll also meet other locals to ride with.
cheers
When I use to ride on a Saturday afternoon at Loftus oval/national park there was a group of guys that did a few laps. just a social gathering, I think they start at Grays point primary school at 3:30pm? Could be later but rock up at that area at around that time you are bound to bump into a group you can tag along with.
I rode with them once and it was fun. Haven't ridden in a few weeks there it has rained every time I have packed the bike into the car!
Don't pack the bike - ride to the trailhead!
