Yorkshire - Fremington Edge & Gunnerside Gill

Welcome to Leeds Mountain Bikers (LMB). We meet regularly for adventurous and challenging off-road rides and our aim is to provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere in which to enjoy our sport, with all the benefits of riding in a social group.

We welcome new members, but please understand that while many of our riders have a lot of experience, we do not hold any formal qualifications and we are not instructors, mentors nor technical experts. We will always help and support each other when needed, and will never leave a group member behind, but all riders must accept that mountain biking is a dangerous sport, and that individual riders are responsible for their own safety.

Please make sure you read our 'About' page, here on Meetup for full details on how our events work. You will be required to complete a 'Rider Information Form' and to sign our 'Participation Statement and Acceptance of Risk' as conditions of riding with us.

...then sign up on one of our rides. They are always great days out and it will be brilliant to meet you.
