2012 will be our 12th year of the Junior Mountain Bike Team!  Jeff and Melanie have organized this program to introduce local youth to the joys of Mountain Biking.  Riders can expect to learn trail riding techniques, bike maintenance, nutrition and training schedules.  The program is for area youth, ages 10-17 years old.  Riders should have a working mountain bike, helmet and hydration system.  A complete program schedule can be picked up at Down Wind Sports of Marquette

We were thrilled with the success of last year’s team and look forward to another sensational year.  We have planned a season full of riding, learning and fun.  The team will meet weekly  each Tuesday morning at 9 AM at Tourist Park beginning in  June.

Our riders can expect to have a brief lesson each week discussing maintenance, nutrition, racing and other aspects of riding.  We will then take to the woods in our ability appropriate groups and ride on mountain bike trails for the duration of the 2 hours.  We will ride over logs & rocks, down & up steep hills.  We will negotiate challenging corners and different terrains.  Most importantly, we will have FUN! 

Best of all this program is FREE!
