What to Expect

We’re a co-ed team with no tryouts and no cuts, if you’re interested, you’re in. We welcome riders of all experience levels, from brand new to seasoned racers.

Season Overview

Pre-season (April 1 – July 14): We host about eight optional rides and events to help riders get comfortable, meet teammates, and start building skills.

Regular Season (July 15 – November 30): This is when practices, team activities, and races are in full swing.

Equipment Basics

To participate, riders should have:

• A working mountain bike

• A helmet (in good condition and not cracked)

• Glasses, gloves, and closed-toe shoes

• Clothing appropriate for the weather and riding conditions

• The ability to carry enough water (either two bottles or a hydration pack with at least a 1.5L reservoir)

• A basic tool kit

• Sunscreen

• A team jersey (required if you plan to race)

• A positive attitude and readiness to have fun!

How the Team Communicates

All team communication happens through Stack Team App.

• Install the app on your (and your rider’s) phone

Be sure to turn on push notifications so you don’t miss updates!

Practice Structure & Schedule

Our team is organized into five skill-based squads, so every rider can progress at the right pace—from beginners learning the basics to advanced riders preparing for races. Each squad is led by an experienced coach and focuses on a mix of skill development, trail riding, and fun.

Middle school riders are welcome to join practices, build skills, and get a feel for the team before transitioning into the high school program.

You can learn more about each squad on the Coaches page.
