The Cross Country Team will ride single-track trails in Summit County
This is perfect for those who can already confidently ride up and down basic single-track trails.
The program caters to a variety of abilities including intro level, enduro riding, and training throughout the summer. Athletes will learn or improve proper trail etiquette, bike handling tips (body position, braking, line choice, cornering, drops, jumps, ascending/descending, etc.), LNT, and some terminology of bike parts. The mountain bike program is geared towards athletes ages 8 and older who can ride on single-track trails.
Riders will focus on trail riding skill development and compete in the Jr. League Race Series, should they choose to compete.
