TheMTBCollective

Not-for-profit that uses mountain biking to improve physical & mental health outcomes for people living in Plymouth.

The @Sport_England #TacklingInequalitiesFund has provided three amazing groups across Devon with the opportunity to support their communities by becoming @Cycling UK Community Cycling Clubs.

@CollectiveMtb & @freemoovement are two of these brilliant groups!

Our new @hopeacademyUK bikes, put together by @CJaMTB this afternoon! SO excited to see what our young riders can achieve on these rides, genuinely amazing bikes. First ride Sunday...

This is what our kids get up to with us! Never more than 2 miles from The Plot, on #UnionStreet; all you need is some imagination, a portable ramp, & a group of young riders who just want to send it! 🤟

Love coaching these guys. After riding the steepest trail of the day so far, they looked at this and decided they wanted a piece of it, so we pedalled up and hit it. Great to see young people really pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones 🤟

[TheMTBCollective @CollectiveMtb]

Two of our young riders taking on this steep chute this morning, which is a lot steeper than it looks on camera! Some big progression by all our riders today, great day on the hill for sure. #totalmtb

@twenteefour12 @CJaMTB @NTPlymValley @SaltramHouseNT Thanks! Yeah, definitely a few rippers in the making! Are you having a junior race this year?

[TheMTBCollective @CollectiveMtb]

Believe it or not, this was our first ride of 2021, but what a one to start with!!! Epic day indeed, with quite literally everyone, young and old(er!), grinning from ear to ear! 😁🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️☀️

[Chris Jones @CJaMTB]

Epic ride with @CollectiveMtb y'day, getting young people from #Plymouth out riding again! Started with a socially distanced bike check, then 5 groups rode out to #CannWoods, @NTPlymValley, & @SaltramHouseNT Great to see these youngsters out, enjoying good exercise in the sun! 🚵‍♀️

Here we go again..! Looks like we won't be running any rides for the next couple of months, so watch this space for some new, online challenges, to keep our riders engaged and ready to shred their way out of Lockdown 3!!!

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

With a new year, we're looking forward to exploring new places. ✨🧭

If there's an offroad route that you wish you could cycle on, then we need your help identifying the missing links: https://t.co/UDwkCfUkR3 #FindTheMissingLinks

[TheMTBCollective @CollectiveMtb]

And we know those efforts are appreciated, along with all the efforts made by every one of our amazing #volunteers!!! 😊👏

[Chris Jones @CJaMTB]

Decided to make an effort to show more of what I do with @CollectiveMtb this year, so here's #DedicatedMTBcoach number 1...

Just spent a couple of hours, organising 15 #volunteers and 29 young people, for mountain bike rides in Jan and Feb 🤟🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️

[TheMTBCollective @CollectiveMtb]

Looks like our @CJaMTB had a good Christmas, but we bet he's looking forward to getting even more people out riding with us in 2021!!!

[Chris Jones @CJaMTB]

Hope everyone had a good Christmas? Mine was quite shiny, thanks to my new chain and favourite Nukeproof Enduro pedals in the Oilslick colourway!!! 😍

Looking forward to hitting some trails v.soon, hope you all find happy trails too 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️

[Nudge @nudgecommunity]

The Clipper is the perfect cosy place to duck in from the rainy weather this week if your out and about! 👇🏻☕🔥 #shoplocal #loveunionstreet #plymouth #rainywalks

[TheMTBCollective @CollectiveMtb]

@haywain2002 @TotalMTB_ @WeAreCyclingUK @activedevon @nudgecommunity @CyclingUK_SW Well, bizarrely, it was fine! For some reason, as yet still unknown, my camera had a complete hissy fit, which makes the shot look waaaay more dramatic than it actually was!

[TheMTBCollective @CollectiveMtb]

Love this as much as we love being part of this! Thank you to all @nudgecommunity and here's to a belting 2021 (we hope!)!!!

[Nudge @nudgecommunity]

#holdon 🤝 After a few months of writers block our last blog of the year is live! 💕 An honest reflection on our 2020 and a nod to a few very special people, especially the wonderfully bonkers Rachael from @PlymouthPlay 💛 👀👉🏻https://t.co/G7WiCW5gfb #SocEnt

Belter of a ride this morning, with a properly hardy group of riders! We rode the whole of the Plymbridge Woods trail, with our riders digging deep and enjoying the challenge.

[StopKillingCyclists @StopKillingCycl]

We are looking for as many knackered old bike frames as we can possibly get our hands on for an instillation.

If you have any or know of any shops or charities that want to get rid of broken frames please DM us.

[TheMTBCollective @CollectiveMtb]

@stokecoopzoe Thanks Zoe!

[TheMTBCollective @CollectiveMtb]

So much fun at #ThePlot today! With the weather against us, we busted out the ropes, cones, & our portable ramp, which gave our riders plenty to practice whilst keeping warm & dry. So much progress made by all!

Thanks Luke, maybe you could come on a ride with us sometime? You'd be very welcome 🚵‍♂️

[Luke Pollard MP @LukePollard]

Really excellent news. Cycling is great exercise, good for the planet and helps cut poor air quality from engines. #plymouth
