BIKE SQUADS
Ride. Explore. Grow.
Bike Squads get 2nd - 8th graders out on the trails to build confidence, skills, and a lifelong love of mountain biking. Riders are grouped by age and ability to ensure fun, challenge, and growth, whether they’re just starting out or ready for more advanced adventures.
