Thames Mountain Bike Club

Welcome to Thames Mountain Bike Club

Experience the thrill of mountain biking with Thames Mountain Bike Club, a dedicated sports club catering to riders of all skill levels. Established in 2011, our club is passionate about providing fun, engaging activities and events for everyone, from young children as young as 3 years old to seasoned adult riders. We focus on creating a welcoming community where biking enthusiasts can come together to enjoy the outdoors and challenge themselves on two wheels. With a strong emphasis on maintaining and expanding local trails, our club is a hub for adventure and camaraderie.

In the heart of Thames, our club offers access to the renowned Moanatairari MTB Park, affectionately known as "Scarface." Located just on the north side of Thames at the top of Moanataiari Creek Road, this park is a haven for mountain biking lovers. Riders must bring their own bikes to tackle the diverse trails that cater to various skill levels. As a key part of the local biking scene, Thames Mountain Bike Club works tirelessly to ensure these trails remain accessible and enjoyable for the community through partnerships with local authorities.
