WELCOME TO
196 Mountain Biking
The 196 Mountain Bike (196MTB) team is a cycling team that develops riders and competes against other teams in Minnesota under the rules of the Minnesota Cycling Association (MCA). We balance the competition of a team with other aspects of a club to keep the sport fun and enjoyable for riders of all ability levels. The 196MTB team is a fun and inclusive family-oriented community that builds life skills through the sport of cycling.
The season runs mid-July through mid-October.
