Who We Are

North Ranch Mountain Bikers (NRMB) is the largest and oldest mountain bike riding group for adults in the Los Angeles area. We have rides most every Wednesday night and Saturdays and Sundays year-round on a multitude of trails. Many of our rides are on trails in The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreational Area (SMMNRA) which spans Los Angeles and Ventura Counties; however, we also regularly ride in the San Gabriel, Santa Barbara, Frazier Park and San Bernardino Mountain areas as well. We even have occasional trips to popular riding destinations such as Mammoth, Kernville, Lake Tahoe, Big Bear, Sedona, Moab, etc.  All of our rides are recreational in nature and are not competitive. We have rides for all levels of riders; beginner to advanced, so pick rides that best fit your skill & athletic abilities. A listing of all of our current month rides is available for download from this website.

NRMB encourages safe, responsible and courteous trail riding. Helmets are mandatory on our group rides and we expect riders to also bring along their own water, snacks and tool kit to fix minor mechanical breakdowns on the trail. We also highly encourage riders to wear operational walkie-talkies (FRS radios that support privacy codes) tuned to channel 5:25. We expect our riders to adhere to the rules of the trail for the safety and enjoyment of all trail users.

The Fine Print

By joining an NRMB ride you understand and accept the following:

NRMB supports CORBA, the Concerned Off Road Bicycling Association; IMBA, the International Mountain Bicycling Association and the MBU, the Mountain Bike Unit which is a group of volunteer riders who patrol the trails of the SMMNRA. Many of our members belong to these groups.  If you are not currently a member of CORBA/IMBA we suggest you sign up now at: http://www.corbamtb.com/join/
