Our mission is to inspire young ones to ride their bikes and explore the outdoors. Through cycling, we cultivate not only strong minds and bodies, but also character and communities. Our aim is to ignite a passion for riding and the beauty of nature, while having a blast. Every individual, no matter their level, can participate in our events – we offer a diverse range of race categories, catering to everyone from the fierce competitor to the casual rider who seeks the company of friends or the novice rider who’s yet to experience off-road cycling.

Outside/Inside Weather Days
As a followup to the email sent up earlier, if we have an extremely cold or inclement weather day, we will post red flags on the outside of the school. This will indicate that students should come in the main doors and go down to the gym until the morning bell rings. This will occur if the temperature drops below 20 degrees or if we have major storms.
