Sign up for the new-format 18/6/3 Hours of Melrose and support the local trails by becoming a MTB Club member.

Between 11:00am and 2:00pm each day, browse our selection of quality recycled cycling gear and pick up a bargain. Better still, every purchase helps give back to the trails, with part of the proceeds going directly towards trail maintenance and improvements.

Find a new favourite piece of gear while showing some love for the trails we all enjoy riding.
