Bolsover & District Cycling Club

Mountain Biking is one of the core activities of B&DCC with many of our members having this as our favoured discipline , this page has more detail about our activities out on the trails

We Currently have a programme of regular tuesday night mountain bike rides all around the district.

The thrill of off road nighttime riding will easily beat any of Nintendo's brain training excercises for keeping you sharp

Full details of start locations & times can be found in the Calendar section

at this time of year we strongly recommend that you equip yourself with the following equipment on our rides:-

a fully functioning mountain bike , rigid , hardtail or full suss (you decide , we arent bike snobs)A helmet , a pump & spare inner tube

Outside the summer months you will need Strong lights front & rear - its dark in them woods

Enough loose change for a pint in the pub after the ride !!

In an attempt to keep some consistency of the locations for our weekly MTB rides , we have fixed the start locations & areas on a rotating pattern around the Bolsover district , the actual dates for each ride can be found in the calendar section
