WELCOME TO
196 Mountain Biking
THE TEAM: The 196 Mountain Bike (196 MTB) 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 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.

Cub Grocery Bagging Fundraiser | Saturday, July 25th and Sunday, July 26th
Join your teammates at Cub Foods on Diffley as we bag groceries to raise money for the team! This is our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year—and one of the MOST FUN ways to spend time with your teammates off the bike.
Whether you're new to 196 MTB or a returning rider, we ask every athlete to sign up for one shift. Each shift also requires one parent volunteer to supervise.
Pick a shift, bring your team spirit, and help make this fundraiser a huge success!
Von Hanson's Fundraiser | Saturday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th
196MTB has another great opportunity to raise money for the team at Von Hanson's in Eagan. Riders will sell grilled brats, chips, and cookies to hungry folks!
We need as many volunteers as possible to make this fundraiser a success. Whether you've been part of the team for years or are brand new, we need you!
Riders, please sign up for at least one shift and help us make this fundraiser run smoothly. Each shift requires one parent for grilling.
Come support your team, connect with teammates, and help 196 MTB reach its fundraising goals!
