The Wheel Monsters is a USA Cycling registered mountain bike club open to girls and boys in middle and high school of all skill levels.  New to mountain biking?  We’ll teach you the skills that you need to be confident riding in the woods.  Not your first ride?  We’ll work on the higher end skills that you need to safely and efficiently ride more technical trails and features, and we’ll build the cardio engine you’ll need for longer, faster rides. 

We’ll be riding on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from April (or as soon as the trails dry out) through June.  We’ll rotate ride locations each week to different trail systems around the Pittsfield area.  Each registered rider will receive a custom printed athletic tee.  All riding groups will include at least one adult.  All adults that ride with the kids will be background checked, Safe Sport trained, and concussion protocol trained.  

You’ll need a quality mountain bike with disc brakes and a suspension fork and a helmet.  Department store bikes really don’t stand up to intense, repeated riding in the woods.

We’re not a race team, but some of us do enjoy racing.  If you want to give racing a try we’d love to bring you along and show you what it’s all about.  There are a bunch of races within a 2 hr drive from us.  These are open races so everyone can participate – parents, siblings, friends, etc.  We’ll bring the tent and grill and make a day of it.

Adults who would like to be ride leaders or sweeps please contact Coach Kevin at lofrontier@yahoo.com and we’ll get you set up with your background check and training.
