Don’t know how to mountain bike?
That’s ok. We can help you get started.
Can’t afford a mountain bike?
Also ok. We can help you get the bike and gear you need.
The CHS Mountain Bike Club is an unfunded, school-sponsored club. We will rely on fundraising and donations to help.
Not in high school yet?
If you’re in 8th grade, heading to CHS next year, you can join the club and come on rides with us. Talk to your parents and get in touch with your interest.
Not sure you can afford the dues?
Let us know. We may be able to help.
Do you have to be a boy or a girl?
Nope. Boys, girls, nonbinary, transgender, LGBTQ+, can ride, race, compete.
Do you have to race?
No. If you just want to go on rides, that’s fine. We will definitely be entering into some racing competitions. These can cost money and require transportation. But they’re so much fun. You’re welcome to come cheer on your team, even if you don’t race.
