Bike CHeck & Fit Party
This IMPORTANT bike check & fit party are focused on those riders who are confident they will be joining the team as well as returning riders. We will have small groups of students shift between different ‘stations’ where they will learn about nutrition related to riding mountain bikes, simple repairs needed on the trail, season information for parents/students as well as a ‘fit station’ designed to ensure that your kit that you purchase will meet your expectations.
We encourage ALL of our student athletes, parents and coaches to participate and learn more about the staff, our season and team expectations.
IMPORTANT NOTE: As we order our clothing for the season, these are non-returnable/refundable, so it is important that the student is happy with the fit of their ride/race kits.
