Minnetonka Community Education

Join the Minnetonka Mountain Bike Racing Team! This Co-Ed Racing team is for dedicated 6th-12th grade (2024-25 school year) student-athletes of all skill levels. Tentative 2024 Season Information: A parent meeting on April 18th will precede registration opening on April 22nd. Initial registration will place every participant on a waitlist. Once team capacity is determined, registrants will be notified if they will be accepted onto the team. Team capacity is partly determined by the number of adult ride leads to maintain safety requirements under MCA guidelines. Please indicate your willingness to be a ride lead when you register your participant. Registrants should be committed to attend most practices and all races. Practice Schedule: July 9th through mid-October, 3 times/week, Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Carver Park Reserve and Saturdays at various metro-area sites. A new rider and new Ride Lead session will take place in late June. Race Schedule: In Sep.-Oct., the team competes in four race weekends, Sept. 7-8, 14-15, 21-22, and 28-29 plus State Championship Oct. 12 & 13 for those who qualify. Middle School races on Saturdays. High School races on Sundays. Registration Fees: TBD. Information about the MCA registration process will be communicated after the Team Roster is finalized. Additional Costs and Requirements: New participants will need to purchase a team jersey for races. Additional apparel may be purchased separately throughout the season. Participants must provide their own bike, helmet, other riding gear, and transportation.
