How it all started

Hi!

BigM started in April 2002, when our founder Minna was looking for local mountain bike clubs around Brussels, but found few catered for the international community and many were very serious competitive clubs with strict rules about riding-time or minimum kilometres per month.

Posting an advert on www.expatica.com, she received a couple of replies - that developed into the first bigM members! A forum was established through www.groups.yahoo.com to facilitate getting in touch, setting up rides and generally chatting about bikes.

Our group has kept growing. These days we have links from lots of mountain biking web sites, although we recruit many of our members through recommendations from existing ones. A bigCompliment in itself.
