Over the past year, MTB Enthusiasts have created partnerships and friendships with many people and spreading the good word encouraging people young and old to get out and enjoy the sport we all love. Be sure to check out some of our affiliates below and see what they have to offer and the causes they do.
As of June 2015 MTB Enthusiasts are now working in partnership with Deers Leap Bikes. Just south of East Grinstead in Sussex, Deers Leap Park has 240 acres of dedicated mountain bike tracks of every grade from family-friendly trails to single track and north shore in the woods as well as a cafe and bike shop and tons of free parking are just a small portion of what there is to offer at this outstanding place surrounded by natural beauty. Deers Leap Bike Shop are also a main dealer for Trek and GT and also offer repair and servicing to all customers.
RSF is run from a workshop in Plymouth by a mountain biker with a passion and love of a sport that he has enjoyed doing for many years, Dave has taken part in local races, 12 hour events and the Kielder 100. Having also spent many years working in the motorcycle trade, even spending some time working with a super stock rider on the BSB circuit. This is when Dave first became aware of how important it is to have a bike that is kept in a good state of repair, is well serviced and with good suspension that has been correctly setup and suspension that has been well maintained and serviced. The same principle applies to mountain bike front forks and suspension whether it's for downhilling, xc racing or just having fun on the trails. Dave ensures that at RSF he provides a competitively priced service with a fast turnaround without losing the emphasis on quality.
Whilst Rushup Edge has been grabbing the headlines recently we should remember that Derbyshire County Council have history when it comes to controversial trail maintenance. The White Peak has seen a huge amount of work in recent years and much of it has met with disapproval from users such as mountain bikers. Some of the committee members for Peak District MTB got involved as a direct result of being disappointed by favourite White Peak trails being spoilt. The introduction of loose surfaces and inappropriate road planings have been two key objections to the trail maintenance approach.

It was back in July 2013 that Remembering Rosie Charity Shop opened its doors for the first time in memory of Rosie Whitaker, who sadly went to heavan far to soon at the age of 15. Their goal is to raise money and awareness for Papyrus, a Charity Organisation that help to raise money and awareness about young children suffering from depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, and is a charity that we at MTB Enthusiasts support strongly.
