We Ride.
We Climb.
We Explore.
A community of outdoor enthusiasts — from Hampshire trails to Dolomite ridgelines — forging authentic relationships through shared adventure.
What We Believe
The most profound insights arrive in motion — not in meeting rooms. Not on screens. Through the physical reality of shared effort: grinding up a climb together, belaying someone through their crux move, reading the mountain before the weather turns.
Fab Rides isn’t a club. It isn’t a business. There are no clients here — only fellow adventurers. No transactions — only shared experiences. Pochi ma buoni. Few but good.
Real adventure takes you out of your comfort zone with no idea of what the outcome will be.
What We Do
Ride
Mountain biking across Hampshire, Surrey Hills, and the Dolomites. Social first, performance second.

Fab Riders
Fab Riders is the name for all of us — friends new and old who share this ethos. The community has taken us from Winchester’s muddy cattle-field crags to a stage race in South Africa, from family cyclocross sessions to multi-pitch routes in the Dolomites.
The adventures feed directly into the writing. Each Friday, experiences from our rides, crags, and mountains find their way into Fab’s Friday Field Notes.
