2023 Season Information
We are excited for another year of mountain biking!
​

​
Attendance Expectations
​
Attendance is expected, but not required. Showing up regularly to practice helps student-athletes develop as riders, gain the most from their participation on the team, and build relationships with their coaches and teammates. We understand that summers are busy for everyone!
Checking in on TeamSnap is mandatory, however, as we need to know how many riders will be present at each practice. Ride groups will be sent out on the day of practice around 4 pm. If your student-athlete is not in a ride group please don't bring them to practice.

Participation Fees

Team Uniform​
​
Our Team fees do NOT include a team jersey: Each rider may purchase a team jersey online at our team store while it is open. Production takes 4-6 weeks after the store closes, so expect your order after that time. Orders will be shipped to the address you specify.
​
-
Jerseys are not required for practice. However, student athletes who plan to race must have a matching team jersey to race at league events. This season, you may select either the Pro, Continental, Pro-Mountain or Trail Jersey (orange version). Racers can choose from the team bib, lycra or baggy shorts or wear your own favorite shorts.
​
-
The team will be providing practice jerseys to all student athletes who have registered by the end of May, after that date they will be available as supply allows. If you would like to purchase an extra one, the grey trail jersey is available in the team store.
​
-
All other items in the store are optional. For questions, please email us.
​
​
Required Equipment
​To participate with TVC all riders should have the following at every practice:
​
-
A mountain bike in good working condition
-
Helmet

Closed-toe shoes

Each rider is responsible for maintaining his or her own mountain bike. We encourage every rider to establish a relationship with a local bike shop for bike tunes, equipment maintenance, and questions. Many local shops offer discounts to team members for equipment and repairs.

Please let the head coaches know if you need help finding and/or purchasing a bike.
