About us
Mountain Bike Club of Cork (MBCC) is a revival of an old and well-remembered name. The club has been
revived by a small group of like-minded Cork bikers with the chief aim of becoming a big group
of like-minded Cork mountain bikers. The goals of the club are to get more people out on their
bikes and enjoying having fun in the hills and in the woods regardless of experience, interests
or abilities. We aim to cater for all avenues of what is quite a diverse sport, but primarily
for the kind of cross-country (XC) spins that back in the days before everything had to have a
label were just called "mountain biking". We're into long exploratory epics when we have the
time, and short fun-packed blasts when we don't.
MBCC aims to cater for all mountain bike disciplines, among them downhill (DH), dirt jumping,
trials and street - but hopes also to restore XC back to the glory it enjoyed in the early days
of mountain biking in Ireland. XC is where it all started in the late eighties and should
still be the introduction to new riders to learn the basics of mountain biking. We believe
that a mountain biker should be able to ride every discipline even though they might have
a preference for one in particular.
Off the bikes, we intend to work on finding and building new trails, maintaining old favourite
routes, organizing killer events and becoming a voice for Cork mountain bikers.
