Mountain Biking Club - Mountain Biking Club Fall 2026
Thank you to Coach Dave Thomas for kick-starting this club which began in spring of 2024!Fall MTB Club Coach is Stacy Bond. We thank our sponsor, Bicycle World, for their yearly support of our club!!!For kids in grades: 4th and up (will consider competent younger riders) in Northfield and surrounding towns (homeschoolers also welcome). Limit of 12 riders and looking for additional parents/adults/teens who mountain bike as well and are willing to help/fill-in.All participants are required to have a decent working/safe and size-appropriate mountain bike plus a properly fitted bicycle safety helmet and be able to ride bikes over uneven ground and up and down hills safely with obstacles.This group is intended for reasonably competent bicycle riders looking to improve their fitness, have fun and learn the skills of Mountain Biking by learning from others. Riders must be ok with the occasional fall, scrapes and having to wait for others on the trail as no one is left behind.If there are enough volunteers, we can also break into two groups, one being a faster group, for more seasoned riders.(Please let us know if you need to borrow one of our various sized used mountain bikes we have to loan to kids or adults! Also, because of a generous donation from Tyler Excavation in Vernon, VT, we have some new, free helmets for riders who need one!)Mondays & Fridays 4:30-5:30pm beginning at Northfield Elementary but then transitioning to the Richardson Loop Trailhead (on Birnam Rd. behind the Northfield Golf Course). Begins Friday Sept. 4th (weather permitting). We also do trails at Montague Plains and Northfield Mountain (can arrange some carpooling, but best to have own transportation). Every ride is weather dependent. Head coach will create a text message thread at beginning of season to share details of rides, be able to ask questions, announce cancellations, etc.THIS YEAR WE HAVE A LEARN TO FIX-A-FLAT CLINIC SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 13TH FROM 11AM TO 1PM AT THE NORTHFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT WE HOPE ALL KIDS WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND!! In coordination with Sadies Bikes! Please put on your calendar!Northfield Residents: please contact NRC via email if you have a financial need: reccom@northfieldma.gov

Mountain Biking Club - Mountain Biking Club Fall 2026
Thank you to Coach Dave Thomas for kick-starting this club which began in spring of 2024!Fall MTB Club Coach is Stacy Bond. We thank our sponsor, Bicycle World, for their yearly support of our club!!!For kids in grades: 4th and up (will consider competent younger riders) in Northfield and surrounding towns (homeschoolers also welcome). Limit of 12 riders and looking for additional parents/adults/teens who mountain bike as well and are willing to help/fill-in.All participants are required to have a decent working/safe and size-appropriate mountain bike plus a properly fitted bicycle safety helmet and be able to ride bikes over uneven ground and up and down hills safely with obstacles.This group is intended for reasonably competent bicycle riders looking to improve their fitness, have fun and learn the skills of Mountain Biking by learning from others. Riders must be ok with the occasional fall, scrapes and having to wait for others on the trail as no one is left behind.If there are enough volunteers, we can also break into two groups, one being a faster group, for more seasoned riders.(Please let us know if you need to borrow one of our various sized used mountain bikes we have to loan to kids or adults! Also, because of a generous donation from Tyler Excavation in Vernon, VT, we have some new, free helmets for riders who need one!)Mondays & Fridays 4:30-5:30pm beginning at Northfield Elementary but then transitioning to the Richardson Loop Trailhead (on Birnam Rd. behind the Northfield Golf Course). Begins Friday Sept. 4th (weather permitting). We also do trails at Montague Plains and Northfield Mountain (can arrange some carpooling, but best to have own transportation). Every ride is weather dependent. Head coach will create a text message thread at beginning of season to share details of rides, be able to ask questions, announce cancellations, etc.THIS YEAR WE HAVE A LEARN TO FIX-A-FLAT CLINIC SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 13TH FROM 11AM TO 1PM AT THE NORTHFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT WE HOPE ALL KIDS WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND!! In coordination with Sadies Bikes! Please put on your calendar!Northfield Residents: please contact NRC via email if you have a financial need: reccom@northfieldma.gov
