Chain Gang is a mountain biking club based in Osu Accra.
The club was formed in 1996 and the aims are simple; to get out, ride,
work-out and enjoy yourself.
We are a member of the Ghana Cycling Association.
We have riders of all abilities from beginners
through to advanced. We ride weekly in and around the suburbs of Accra.
In addition to weekly rides we also organize longer, out-of-town rides
at least once every three months and during most public holidays.
On
this site you can access information on the club; how to get to us, our
schedules and some of our trails. We welcome you to join Chain Gang and
ride with us!
