Medway Mountain Biking
Medway Mountain Biking is a MTB community based in Kent, England. Est. 2020
Why Medway is a top spot for mountain biking
Medway is quite simply the best place in Kent for mountain biking, owing to the elevation of the North Downs, geography of the Medway valley and the picturesque Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) that surrounds it

About us
Medway Mountain Biking was established on 10th May 2020, during the start of the pandemic with the objective of promoting mental and physical health, especially to those who no longer had access to gyms or activity clubs. We wanted to create a community to share details of trails and routes around North Kent and allow others to connect for group rides
There are an extraordinary number of areas to enjoy mountain biking in around Medway, due to the local geography such as the elevation of the North Downs Way and the low lying Medway river and valley. There's also a fantastic combination of ancient trails and modern country parks #JustRide
