Nelson Mountain Bike Club

Nelson has well over 200 youth riders who get out and race regularly and we'd love to see you all come along and support the youth workshop this weekend.

👉What: A chance to mix and mingle with some of our local riders who have spent time racing on the international scene, ask questions and pick up a few ideas that might help with your own race journey.

👉Who: Aimed towards teens who are currently racing, but all club members who are interested are welcome to come along.

🕑When & Where: 1pm - 3pm at Maitai Golf Clubrooms.

No booking needed, just show up on the day. It'll be a low key afternoon and we'd love to see you there!

Suggestion: Bring your bikes along and we'll head out for a mass party-train lap of Mr Chomper afterwards! 🚲

We asked Gorge riders for their tips for a first-time visitor to the Gorge.

If you've been thinking about going but have been put off by the image of it being 'gnarly', click on the post below to read through the comments from the people who love the Gorge! 🤘

Nervous about your first trip to The Gorge? 👀

We know The Gorge has a bit of a reputation for being gnarly — but there’s so much more to it than big, technical riding!

We’d love to hear from our Gorge regulars: what would you recommend to someone visiting for the first time who’s feeling a little nervous?

👉 Which trails are a great place to start?
👉 Any tips for getting the most out of your first day?
👉 What do you wish you’d known before your first trip?

Drop your recommendations below 👇 and help us show first-timers that The Gorge is for more than just the hardcore riders!
