Membership

MEmbership

If you are a local mountain biker and enjoy riding the trails maintained by Mountain Bike Ashburton then please consider joining the club. The Ashburton District Council and Environment Canterbury permit the club to build and maintain trails on their land but this is not guaranteed. A strong local MTB club gives riders a voice in the community and helps ensure long term access to these trails.
Members are not obliged to attend working bees and race events - a paid membership is a welcome and valuable contribution to the club, by people who enjoy using the tracks on a regular or casual basis
