Mountain Biking
Mountain Biking TEAm is Ready for Adventure!
Our Upper School Mountain Biking TEAm returns for another fun, fast and challenging season riding the best trails Tahoe & Truckee have to offer! The goal of this TEAm is to build the MTB know-how, physical and mental stamina, and fun with friends on bikes exploring nature. Mountain biking is a life long, healthy pursuit and one that anyone interested should enjoy. This program has shifted from XC racing to focus solely on enduro riding with blended XC riding as well.
