About MTB Riyadh — Riyadh's Mountain Biking Club Since 2022
MTB Riyadh is Riyadh's cross-country mountain-biking community — a group of riders who get together for regular rides across the wadis, escarpments and desert singletrack around the Saudi capital.
What began as a handful of riders sharing trails has grown into an active community that maps routes, welcomes newcomers, and rides together regularly. Every level is welcome, from first-timers to seasoned XC racers.
Follow @mtbriyadh on Instagram to see where we ride next, and join the group to register for rides and events.
Our values
- Ride Together — Group rides for every level. We ride as a group and make sure everyone finishes.
- Explore the Terrain — Wadis, escarpments and desert singletrack around Riyadh — we find it, map it and share it.
- Ride Safe — Helmets on, look out for one another, and ride within your limits.
- Grow the Scene — Welcome newcomers and help build the Saudi mountain-biking community.
