I plan to check out all the local clubs and I am sure not all will be like this one. I was talking with a rider in a different club whose meeting location is 11km from my house. That would be great because I can ride there rather then drive 25min to ride. He also was saying that the club is made up of roadies who have aquired an interest in mtb. So once a month instead of doing a road ride they head out to the trails. Granted it is not alot of mtb riding but at least they are open minded enough to try. He also said that a few of the riders go out to the trails at least once during the week.
