CNY Sharks Youth Mountain Bike Team

We ride three times a week, chasing dirt, smiles, confidence, and adventure. Our practices blend trail riding, skills, games, and team camaraderie to create a fun and supportive environment where every rider can thrive—no racing required.

Locations include:

Green Lakes State Park

Split Rock Quarry

Duguid Park

Highland Forest

Morgan Hill

Racing is optional, but cheering is mandatory. 

For riders who choose to race, we provide coaching, preparation, and a team that shows up loud and proud. Whether you're rolling up to your first start line or chasing a personal best, the focus is always the same: challenge yourself, support your teammates, have fun, and keep growing. Around here, effort matters more than outcomes, and every Shark has a place on the team.

Our Sharks GRiT (Girls Riding Together) program creates a space where girls can ride, grow, laugh, challenge themselves, and build confidence alongside teammates who have their backs. Through girls-focused rides, supportive coaches, mentorship, and plenty of trail adventures, riders discover that they're capable of more than they imagined. Whether they're learning a new skill, stepping outside their comfort zone, or simply enjoying time on bikes with friends, GRiT helps girls find confidence, connection, and a lifelong love of riding.

Our NICA-certified coaches are dedicated to helping every Shark feel safe, supported, and successful. We focus on more than just riding bikes—we help athletes build skills, confidence, resilience, and strong character. Through encouragement, mentorship, and a lot of trail miles, we create an environment where riders can challenge themselves, support each other, and discover their potential both on and off the bike.

Sharks take care of their trails, their teammates, and their community. From trail work days and volunteer projects to helping a rider with a flat or cheering on a competitor, we teach our athletes that mountain biking is about more than what happens on the bike. Through stewardship, service, and a positive team culture, our riders learn to be respectful outdoor athletes, supportive teammates, and leaders both on and off the trail.

The Sharks are built on a simple philosophy: work hard, have fun, and support each other. We believe every rider deserves a place to belong, a chance to grow, and the encouragement to challenge themselves. Through teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship, and a love of adventure, we help young athletes build confidence on the bike and character that lasts far beyond the trail. Sharks take care of their trails, their teammates, and their community.
