Elementary Club

Elementary Club is for beginner to intermediate riders ages 8+ in grades 2 – 5. Our welcoming & experienced coaches truly enjoy teaching young riders the fundamentals to progress their mountain biking skills and the basics of sharing the trail.

Join a multi-week skills-progression after school and continue to build skill and endurance with a summer camp tailored to your rider’s age and ability.

Build skills, confidence and explore the local trails!

  • Consistent coaching from trained adults who enjoy working with young riders
  • Peer & gender groups built to encourage personal progression and teamwork
  • Small groups for effective learning, skill development and more time on trail
  • Riders improve in so many dimensions: gain confidence, learn skills, find flow
