Friendships grow when we work, play, suffer, and have fun together. Looking back on these years, youth are destined to make lasting friendships. Join us. A friend is waiting.
We commit to help your youth love mountain biking. We aren't always successful, but it won't be because of a lack of fun times and the feeling of belonging on the team.
We're blessed to have beauty all around us. Sunsets at practice, dirt in our faces, the smell of sweat, and working aggression out in the outdoors. That is adventure & beauty.
Whether your child wants to be an Olympian or just have fun, here they will learn and grow and be supported and praised. Your youth will improve from whatever level they start at.
This team is serious about building youth. We have an amazing group of young women and frankly, they carry the team. We also highly encourage youth with disabilities to join!
Compete both individually and as a team. Victory and defeat are both valuable to growth. Self-pressure in the moment can be healthy when harnessed correctly.
We teach discipline and build your youth's physical and emotional well-being. They thrive in the outdoors, away from distractions at school and on social media.
Yes, we are one of the largest teams in the nation. Yes, we have won the state championship a few times. That's not what makes us special. We give 200 student athletes the opportunity to push themselves in a fun, friendly, and safe environment. Our athletes and coaches are dedicated to making LPMTB an amazing experience for all. We love getting on the podium, but some of our favorite successes involve a different kind of champion.

Head Coach
I grew up around road cycling and was a roadie until my oldest kid joined our team. I shifted to knobby tires and now my road bike is grounded to Zwift. I love the support of this team and the hard work MTB teaches. It makes a difference when Lone Peakers cheer on their teammates! My favorite trail is Crest in the fall with all the colors.
Asst. Head Coach
I’m the father of three very active boys. My wife is endlessly supportive of my mountain biking habit—if not my taste in jerseys—and has adopted the practice of only purchasing real estate after consultation with local bike shops on trail access. You will hear me panting my way up the trails and, I’m told, sounding like a freight train on the way down. Saddle up and ride on!

I’ve been with the team for eight years, riding VeloLove before it was big. I started MTB on my mission, covering 30-40 miles a day in the California mountains. Levitate is my go-to trail, with Zooropa close behind. My "why" is helping kids build skill—especially on the downhill. Off the bike, I’m into 3D printing, smoked meats, backpacking, and pickleball.

We couldn't run this team without a huge team of volunteers, including our amazing ride leaders. Unlike other sports, all of our coaches ride with our athletes. We typically need around 50 adult ride leaders to run a safe and effective practice. Don't worry about your skill level... if you can turn the pedals, we want you!
You can and will make a difference in the lives of these amazing youth. Seeing them grow and progress changes us as leaders for the better. You are needed as part of our family.
Getting ourselves outside does as much good as it does our kids. Smell the trees, dirt, and sweat, and get that blood moving. Be happier in the open air and build friendships.
Spend time together, several days a week in fun, learning situations. You'll get to see your kids interact with other youth and adults in a non-threatening way. How valuable is that?
Girls Riding Together
A special program designed especially for girls and women. We can only be truly equal when we address that many females need different things to feel welcome and invited into our programs. Tear it up on the trails with instruction from female coaches, social activities, and female-only competition.
Ride Like a GirlOur Program for Junior High
Most youth love adventure, friendship, and the hope for a ton of fun. Here it is! While many things compete for our children's time and energy like TV, video games, and social media, this, however, will build health, structure, and a well-rounded approach to life and trials while satisfying that basic need to grow socially, physically, and emotionally.
Learn MoreOur Program of Inclusivity
The Elevate program was developed in 2015 as a way to include students with physical or cognitive disabilities. Race courses can be adapted to meet the needs of the Elevate riders by providing distance and technical challenges appropriate to their ability.
