Cannon Valley Composite Mountain Bike Team
We are a mountain bike team for girls and boys in grades 6-12 in Minnesota’s Cannon River Valley, with cyclists from Northfield, Faribault, Owatonna, and Webster. We welcome all student-athletes to participate, regardless of ability level. We are part of the Minnesota High School Cycling League (MCA), a nonprofit organization building strong mind, body, and character, guided by the principals of inclusivity and equality.
More than 2,600 student-athletes participate in the MCA, supported by 1,300 coaches! This is a fall sport with practice starting Aug. 13. The deadline to sign up for this season’s races was Aug. 1, but you can still practice with the team and hone your skills for next season’s races.
Practices rotate between River Bend Nature Center/Shattuck St. Mary’s, Caron Park, Kaplan’s Woods, and the trails in Northfield. Learn more by visiting our Facebook page, the MCA homepage, or by contacting head coach Todd Trembley at ttrembley@charter.net.
