One Club, many types of riding.
Fast, slow, on-road or off, competitively or just enough to justify that Saturday morning trip to the Java joint -- the MBC does it all. Check out our Road Rides, Mountain Biking, and Time Trials pages.
Information on scheduled club rides is available on our ride calendar below and on the MBC Home Page. Cancellation of club rides due to inclement weather will be posted on the ride calendar.
RIDE POLICY: Good manners, common courtesy, obeying traffic laws and safe cycling practice, wearing helmets, showing up with a safe bike in working condition are all required for club rides. People who can't adhere to these simple policies will be asked to leave and ride somewhere on their own. You are responsible to determine your fitness to attempt any ride, bring needed tools, spares, fluid, food, clothing, etc. Please also be sure to read and follow the MBC Ride Guidelines that were adopted on July 9, 2018.
MEMBERSHIP: Club membership is highly encouraged. First-time guests are welcome to join club rides. First-time guest do not need to be a member to join your first club ride. You can join the club online or download a membership form and mail it in with your dues.
INSURANCE: MBC is a member of the League of American Bicyclists (LAB). Through the LAB insurance program, MBC carries general liability coverage and participant accident coverage. The LAB insurance program that MBC carries is online including links to the Insurance Brochure, the Insurance Packet, and a link to Report an Incident. Coverage limits are highlighted in the Insurance Brochure. This coverage only applies to official MBC-led club rides and the time trials listed on the MBC rides calendar below and only for current MBC members and first time guests.
SAFETY & GROUP RIDING: Please read our League of American Bicyclist Group Riding Brochure for important safety information.
Please at least know how to patch/change/inflate your own flat tubes. Practice at home before you try to figure it out on the road somewhere. Know how your air pump or CO2 inflator functions. Ask any more experienced rider for advice any time. They are almost always glad to share what they know with newer riders.
