CATAMOUNT CYCLING CLUB
Catamount’s Cycling Clubs are designed for young riders with a passion for the outdoors and their sport!
We offer age-appropriate groups designed to engage kids of all levels, from young beginners to more experienced adventurers. With three distinct groups to choose from, every child can find their stride in a fun, supportive environment.
A typical practice includes a mix of playful and purposeful activities. Club members can expect to start with dynamic stretching, head out on an exciting trail adventure to get their hearts pumping, and then slow things down to work on specific skills.
On days with inclement weather, sessions will move indoors and focus on bike maintenance and other hands-on skills. While attendance is flexible, we encourage participants to join us as often as they can to get the most out of the experience.
On Wednesday afternoons, club members also have the option to stay late and take part in the weekly mountain bike race at 6 PM. The Grom Squads Wednesday practice will be on the Weekly MTB Race with coaches on course.
SPOKE SPROUTS
For Ages 6-7
Beginner Level – Building Confidence on the Bike
Spoke Sprouts is for young riders who are just getting started on the trails. Riders should be able to start pedaling , stop using hand brakes, and steer independently and have some experience on unpaved paths or gentle terrain. Training wheels and strider bikes are not allowed. If your child needs help learning how to ride a bike, please check out our private lessons.
This group focuses on fun, safety, and foundational bike-handling skills like balance, braking, body position, and awareness. Through games and trail rides on mellow terrain, riders will build confidence and learn the basics of trail riding in a playful, supportive environment.

CADET CREW

Developing Riders – Gaining Skills and Confidence
Cadet Crew is ideal for kids who have some trail experience or are newer riders ready to take their biking to the next level. Participants should be comfortable pedaling on narrow singletrack that have some rocks and roots, turning on varied terrain, and riding up and down green-level trails.
This group emphasizes skill progression, exploring different types of terrain, and building endurance. Riders will begin working on techniques like cornering, shifting, climbing, and descending — with opportunities to progress to more challenging blue and black trails as they’re ready.
