ABOUT US

Fat Tracks was the first Mountain Bicycle Club in South Africa. Established in 1989, the Club is a leader in the growth of Mountain Biking in South Africa and has seen substantial growth in the last three years. As a club we recognize the importance of catering for all mountain biking needs, irrespective of levels of discipline, fitness or skill.

WHAT WE DO

Amongst other things, Fat Tracks Mountain Bike Club involves itself in:

• Racing : We organize races catering for both novice and experienced riders.
• Outrides : We have regular outrides. Outrides are a
  social type of event which is really just about getting out and riding
  mountain bikes whilst encouraging new entrants to the sport.
• Chaperoned Valley rides: Our trail builders offer
  an escorted ride during the day for those who are fortunate enough to
  ride their bikes during normal work hours.
• Skills rides: We do occasional rides where riders can learn to tackle obstacles and challenges that they might usually not try.
• Trail maintenance: Key to our growth is the
  maintenance and development of the Baakens Valley trail network. We know
  our members like riding epic trails and as such will continue to
  provide awesome pedaling opportunities.
