About this program

The mountain biking season was a whirlwind of dirt, adrenaline, and camaraderie. From the first warm September days to the crisp November air, our team was dedicated to pushing their limits and exploring new trails. Each ride was an opportunity for them to challenge themselves, discover hidden gems, and bond with their teammates.

We explored local hotspots, such as Brumley Nature Preserve, Lake Crabtree, and our very own Carolina North Forest - the place we call home. The teens challenged themselves on technical descents, and pushed their limits on the short, but grueling climbs.

As the season reached its peak, we embarked on an epic trip to Hendersonville, NC, to ride the legendary trails of Dupont Forest. Although the vibrant fall foliage was all but gone, the technical terrain and breathtaking views made for an unforgettable experience. It was the perfect destination to cap off our season. We spent two days exploring the forest, from the flowy single-track to the rugged, rocky climbs.

Thanks to you, we were able to share our passion for mountain biking with teens who do not often get that opportunity. Therefore, creating lasting memories and extending the passion and desire to protect lands such as those we rode.
