The Reframing MTB conference is returning in 2025, this time in Bristol on 7-8th March.
Reframing MTB was founded in 2022 by Henry Norman (Ride Sheffield), Manon Carpenter, and Aneela McKenna (Mòr Diversity). Its goal? To make mountain biking ‘a better, more inclusive, and sustainable, fun space for all.’
The two-day event, co-hosted by Ride Bristol, is designed to bring people together to move mountain biking forward. This year the theme is ‘Futureproofing Mountain Biking’
Futureproofing mountain biking is the responsibility of us all – industry, policy, community organisations and riders. – Reframing MTB
Over the weekend the group will host several mountain biking activities, talks and workshop sessions:
“On Friday, the 7th, we’ll gather the mountain bike community to hear from inspirational speakers and dive into workshop sessions together to share expertise and explore ideas. In the evening, we’ll get the chance to head out for a ride and enjoy some of Bristol’s famous nightlife.”
“Saturday, the 8th, is open to the public and will take us outside to the trails where we’ll meet the volunteers who put in the spade time and community leaders who help to introduce mountain biking to others. We’ll leave feeling energized for progress and with commitments that we can all incorporate into our approach.”
2024 Reframing MTB Conference
In 2024, the event was hosted in Sheffield on 1-2nd March. Last year the event, co-hosted by Ride Sheffield brought together 60 people from across the mountain bike community.
Great event. Speakers all had great insights to share that made you think about our mountain biking community differently. Such a mix of people in the interactive sessions, from landowners, athletes, volunteer groups, bike parks and a wide range of interested parties. Don’t forget your bike! –
The group published their 2024 Reframing MTB report, which also gives an idea of what to expect for 2025.
Everyone is welcome to attend, and Reframing MTB is asking for representatives from trail associations, bike retailers, bike brands, media, policymakers, governing bodies, landowners, community groups and interested individuals to sign up. Tickets are on sale now. You can view the full programme for the 2025 Reframing MTB Conference via their Eventbrite.
