The Mountain Bike Haifa club was formed by a group of employees in Dec 1996 at Intel's Israel Development Center in Haifa.
Our original aims were:2_nostipple_f.gif (2440 bytes)
Have fun
Introduce new people to the sport
Get to know the local countryside
Keep in shape
Enhance technical knowledge and skills for experienced bikers
Provide an Intel presence at national bike events and competitions
Get to meet other employees
We have since grown to a weekly ride attendance of 30 people, a mailing list of 230 names, many from outside of Intel. We are now by far the biggest mountain biking club in Haifa. During 1997 we participated in every major national bike race, winning 1st place in the male group category at the Golan Heights race. We had 15 members ride in the Dan to Eilat ride organized by Shahal. This year (1998) we have over 30 people training for the Cross-Israel ride.
We hold weekly Friday rides in and around Haifa, and once a month go for a longer trips further away, and since summer 1998 full weekend trips.
