196 Mountain Biking

THE TEAM: The 196 Mountain Bike (196 MTB) team is a community-based cycling organization 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 196 MTB 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.

If you have questions, please email 196mtbteam@gmail.com.
