SOUTH COAST UNITED MOUNTAIN BIKERS Inc (SCUM)

 

SCUM is a not for profit, volunteer-run mountain bike club based in Nowra on the NSW South Coast, passionate about growing the love of mountain bike riding in the Shoalhaven. Since 2004, we’ve been building and maintaining trails, supporting riders of all ages and abilities, and creating opportunities to ride — from relaxed social spins with friends to competitive races for aspiring athletes.

 

With 3 different trail networks across Nowra and Currambene State Forests, SCUM has something for everyone: flowing cross-country loops, skills parks, pump tracks, flow and air-flow trails and community-built singletrack, all of which showcase some of the region’s best riding. Our events calendar is just as diverse, featuring the Flow X Series, XC Series, the iconic Dusk to Dark endurance race, plus a strong focus on junior development and regular trail work days where riders come together to give back.

 

Whether you’re discovering mountain biking for the first time, chasing fun with family and mates, or lining up for competitive mountain biking events in Nowra, SCUM is here to connect people through trails, skills, and the joy of riding together.

 

SCUM acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we meet and ride

the Jerrinja and Wandi Wandian people, and pay respect to elders past, present, and those of the future. We recognise that it is a privilege to share these lands, which we will continue to respect and nurture.
