Off Road

The off-road group is an active and sociable part of Edinburgh RC. We do both Gravel and MTB rides which are advertised in the weekly ERC Rides email posted every Friday.
Regular Rides
Both Gravel and MTB rides are organised monthly, alternating with each other on a fortnightly basis. All rides have an experienced leader.
Skills Training
As many club riders are more interested in improving their Off Road bike handling than racing, we often arrange MTB skill courses with professional instructors such as MB7 and Dirt School. All skill levels can be catered for from novice (blue trails) to advanced (black trails). We have also organised First Aid courses for ride leaders.
Racing & Events
Some members of the off-road group race at various levels, both Gravel and MTB. The club aims to offer a supportive environment for riders with race ambitions, whether you want to compete for the podium or just challenge yourself.
Preparing for an Off Road ride
You are responsible for your own safety, capability and mechanical condition of your bike. Bring appropriate clothing, food, water, tools and spares (minimum of pump and spare tube).
