Mountain Bike Racing

With the 2019 season wrapped-up, we’d like to congratulate competitors and organizers for taking the lead and supporting MTB riding in Nova Scotia! The excitement, skill and comradely between rides makes this cycling discipline great to watch and follow. BNS looks forward to the 2020 MTB series, and encourage all MTB attendees to attend to the 2019 Awards Banquet to show appreciation to your peers (and maybe pick up some prizes for yourself!)

Some of you may be interested in joining the NSCX season. I you’re already a BNS member (General or with Race Licence), you can register here.

This section will be getting more content in the coming weeks and months as we gather information, tips, and ideas to share with mountain biking community. Please come back and check out what’s new on a regular basis. If you have any suggestions for what you would like to see on this page, please drop us a line.
