LMBC news January 2010


2009 is all wrapped up and your LMBC executives are keeping busy planning out great things for 2010 and beyond. But first, let's have a look back at we've achieve in 2009.

  • Inaugural meeting, where all in attendance had a hand in electing five executives eager to make a difference in London's MTB community
  • Weekend and weeknight group rides at Fanshawe and Boler, with 4 to 8 riders out for some fun
  • Out of town rides to explore new trails. The hydrocut is amongst one of our members' favrourites!
  • A trail day, hosted by the Upper Thames Valley Conservation Authority at Fanshawe lake, in partnership with IMBA Canada. Big thanks to all those involved!
  • The 3rd annual Fanshawe-thon, though the 1st offical LMBC fanshawe-thon. 17lbs of non-perishable food items where collected and donated to the food bank!
  • Published a first newsletter outlining some of the club's activities. You can find it here

What's coming in 2010? Lots! Stay tuned and be active on the forum!




May 2009: The inaugural meeting was a great success!


A great gathering of enthusiastic mountain bikers took place May 5th at East Side Marios at which LMBC was officially started. An excellent brain storming session took place, with all present contributing to a poster full of ideas (which was later digitized for easier portability!).


Nominations were placed for directing roles at the start of the club, with the following 5 people making up the board of directors.


President: Chris P. (kinboy)
Vice-president: Yann (Yanner)
Trails and Memberships Liaison: Craig A. (ccaddy)
Treasurer: Corum (XC23)
Secretary: Andrew (Frankenbiker)


If you've already joined, we'd like to thank you for having faith in what we are trying to achieve and you'll hear from us very shortly. We hope to soon streamline our membership process to make it even easier for prospective members to get in on the action

What is this site?

This site is an online community for people who like mountain biking and cycling in general or want to know how to get started and live in the London area.


What will I find here?

Currently, you'll find a very active discussion forum. Members use it to for barter and exchange, get help with technical issues or choosing a new bike, and to coordinate group rides.

Soon, this site will begin hosting tons of information about everything to do with mountain biking in London!


Are there any MTB clubs around?

This is one of the reasons the site was started. There are currently no official affiliated club in London (just race teams). One of the purposes of this site was to bring together a group of interested individuals to start a club who's interests will be racing, recreation, group events and trail advocacy. This is why the London Mountain Bike Club was born.

Want to get involved or just get more information? Just post on the discussion forum, or email us at londonmtb@gmail.com
