General Information

At SCUM we’re all about the joy of riding together. Throughout the year we host a variety of social rides across our trails in Nowra and the Shoalhaven, as well as adventures further afield. These rides are a chance to explore new tracks, enjoy our trail network, and connect with fellow mountain bikers. We also host dedicated Women’s Rides, helping more riders discover the fun and freedom of mountain biking in a supportive environment.

Our social rides are designed to cater for all riders — beginners, families, and experienced riders alike. While not every ride will suit every rider, across the year we plan rides for different skill levels, styles, and trail types so that everyone has the chance to join in. Keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming dates and details.
