We are a mountain biking club based in Berkshire primarily from the Crowthorne area. But we ride far and wide; from Crowthorne to Cornwall, the North Downs to the South Downs, Wales to the Isle of Wight. The club can offer seven local rides a week, regular away rides including day and weekend trips, a permit to ride in Swinley Forest, club clothing, spares service, a newsletter, local shop discounts, and a whole lot more. So have a browse around the website to learn a little of what BOB gets up to.

Rides for Non-Members

If you do not know an existing member to recommend you for club membership but ride regularly off-road with a reasonable level of fitness, then we hold regular Introductory Rides for prospective new members. The objective of this ride is to introduce you to a few regular riders within the club. It also gives you a chance to get an idea if you would like to become a member and ride with like-minded mountain bikers. If you are interested in attending then check the dates on the Calendar and e-mail introrides@bobmbc.com for more information.

 

A permit to ride in Swinley Forest will be needed and, if you don’t have one already, a day permit can be arranged in advance. Details can be found at: www.gorrick.com/swinley.

The Intro Rides are mainly on the single-track trails in Swinley Forest. They are usually around 12-15 miles for 2½ hours depending on the ability of the group and numbers on the day. Our normal Saturday ‘medium’ pace rides are often around 15-25 miles or more. Alternatively, our Sunday ‘leisure’ rides tend to be 10-15 miles for about 2 hours.

General club queries should be sent to cycling@bobmbc.com. (Sorry we can only answer queries relating to the club and becoming a member, if you want to know the "best tyres for Swinley" we suggest you use one of the many cycling Forums, thanks!).
