The preseason starts in April, and we will have a few practices and fun rides during the spring. Regular practices start June 1. There are three jr. devo and high school races from August 26 to the end of September. In October, the high school athletes have one additional race and then state championships October 20-21 (by qualification). See the calendar for details.

The practices are usually 2 hours long. A typical practice looks like this: Team meeting (10 min): explain plan for the day, safety meeting, bike inspection, Warm up (20 min) Skills or workout (80 min) Cool down (5 min) Props/team meeting (5 min)​ We usually practice at High Star, Oakley trails, Beaver Creek, and other nearby areas.

We love to have more ride leaders. You need to commit to a few rides a month and get your NICA level 1 certification. This requires a background check and a few hours of online courses. We will offer an in-house clinic to help parents be comfortable being ride leaders. If you do not bike, we can still find a place for you. Contact the head coach for more information.

Athletes can attend one practice to see what we are all about, then must register. Registration is closed for the 2023 season.
