Train with one of the strongest Mountain Bike Teams in the country.
Members of Western’s Mountain Biking Team find organized training, coaching, travel, competition and world-class mountain biking within the Mountain Sports program at Western Colorado University.
Western’s Mountain Bike Team is among the strongest in the country. The team earned DII national titles in 2018 and 2019, with runner-up titles the previous two years. These accomplishments are just a small glimpse at the consistent success of the diverse, hard-working group that makes up our Mountain Bike team.
The team has regular practices throughout the week that are tailored to the variety of passions and skill levels on the team. From the very start of the semester into October, the team travels to Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference (RMCCC) races and builds for a strong showing at the USA Cycling Collegiate National Championships to top the season off!
The collegiate mountain biking racing scene is structured into A, B, and C categories so that riders who are new to racing and those who are looking to vi for a podium spot at top races can compete all the same. Whether an athlete is looking for cross country or downhill mountain biking (or both), Western’s top-notch coaches are keen on supporting each athlete’s growth and passion for the sport!
