MTBG Juniors is the youth section of the MTBG Club. We are a British Cycling Affiliated Go-Ride Club open to riders aged between 10 and 16.
The junior section runs regular rides and coaching sessions with an emphasis on FUN! All sessions are delivered by MTB Coaches and MTB Ride Leaders holding the appropriate British Cycling qualifications.
2025 Activities and costsActivities & Costs
MTB Guisborough offers activities during term time from April to November. We organise activities in blocks corresponding to each half term, riders sign up and pay for a block of activities at a time. The session fee is £5 per ride (paid in blocks – see below). MTB Guisborough is a non-profit community organisation staffed 100% by volunteers, the ride fee enables us to sustain our activities through paying for the costs we incur in delivering them e.g. leader and coach training, insurance, essential equipment etc. Please note: We are unable to provide refunds if riders miss sessions so please ensure you are committed to attending the sessions before you register. Blocks open for booking approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of first session, priority will be given to existing riders to ensure continuity and enable skills progression. For 2025 the blocks are as follows:
For safety and insurance reasons all activities need to be pre-booked. Places are limited so early booking is advised, if we are fully booked then riders will be added to a waiting list and notified when a place becomes available.
Join the clubRiders do not have to be club members to join the sessions but membership is encouraged as it helps support the club - it also provides a host of benefits including discounts at local bike shops and the opportunity to purchase exclusive club kit.
Weather & Cancellation
We ride in most weather conditions – rain doesn’t stop play!
Riders must have proper gear e.g. a rain jacket if it’s forecast to rain - or participation may be refused. Rides are very occasionally cancelled due to extreme weather if it's unsafe for us to be in the forest - typically ice, snow, very strong winds or thunderstorms. |
Want to get involved?The club is run by volunteers and we’re always looking for good people to get involved. If you’re a keen rider yourself and interested in helping out or even completing a coaching or leading qualification then please get in touch. ([email protected]).
Please note: all potential volunteers will be required to undertake an enhanced CRB check (organised by club). Contacts and other important information
