The third annual Reframing Mountain Biking Symposium will take place in Bristol this March 7th and 8th, continuing the aim of making the UK mountain bike industry and scene move beyond its current challenges, whilst providing a more inclusive space.

The inspirational Reframing MTB Conference is back for 2025, visiting Bristol on the 7th and 8th March. Tickets are now on sale here.
Co-hosted this year by local trail group Ride Bristol, Reframing MTB aims to make mountain biking a better, more inclusive and sustainable, fun experience for all.
On Friday 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 night life.
Saturday 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 energised for progress and with a set of commitments that we can all incorporate into our approach.
Reframing MTB was founded by Henry Norman (Ride Sheffield), Manon Carpenter and Aneela McKenna (Mòr Diversity) in 2022. Its goal is to progress UK mountain biking past some of the barriers that hold us back, turning discussion into action.
Ride Bristol is the charity that is protecting Bristol’s mountain bike trails through maintaining the trails, raising funds and building the 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 on the interactive sessions, from landowners, athletes, volunteer groups, bike parks and a wide range of interested parties. Don’t forget your bike!” – 2024 Reframing MTB Attendee
All are welcome, particularly representatives from trail associations, bike retailers, bike brands, media, policy makers, governing bodies, landowners, community groups and interested individuals. The 2024 edition co-hosted by Ride Sheffield brought together a blend of 60 delegates from across the mountain biking sector, and we expect to continue to grow in number this year.
Reframing MTB 2025 is possible thanks to the support of the University of Bristol, and a number of sponsors who will be announced shortly.
