Mountain Bike
The Southampton University Mountain Bike Club is a group of active and friendly riders. We ride twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays, meeting on the redbrick (Just outside Stags!). Ride times may vary with weather and daylight hours. We do all styles of Mountain Biking including Cross Country, Enduro, Downhill and Dirt Jumping. We go on regular trips to venues such as QECP, Puddletown forest, Watchmoor and FoD, with at least 2 big weekend trips a year to huge parks within the UK like Bike Park Wales. Most commonly we can be found at Southampton Bike Park and the volunteer built trails at Lordswood. Don't be afraid to get in contact! We look forward to meeting you at Bunfight, our rides and our weekly socials. Find our social medias at: linktr.ee/thesumbc
