High school mountain bike team thanks community

We are writing to thank the community for their avid support of the SBV Cycling Team. SBV Cycling is the new high school mountain bike racing team that is competing in the inaugural year of the Colorado High School Cycling League. We are a composite team of high school students from Salida, Buena Vista, and the Link School. We are two weeks into the season with 30 kids participating and  are hosting our first race this weekend at the McMurray Ranch in Nathrop.

We would also like to thank Wes Stobbe for designing our jerseys and Jeremy Petersons for donating parts, tools, and accessories to the team.

We are still looking for volunteers for this weekend. If you are interested in helping out please contact Kate Rau at kate@coloradomtb.org. We look forward to racing hard and having a great season. Thanks to everyone, and please come out and support us in the first ever Colorado High School Cycling League mountain bike race.

Thank You,

The SBV Cycling Team.

  1. Huge thanks to the SBV community, McMurry Ranch, Keith and Taf Darner, and Team SBV lead by Coach Fred Maxwell. Your numerous hours of trail work and volunteer efforts on race weekend provided a stellar kick off to the season. SBV riders put the hammer down and coach Heidi Slaymaker pinned it all weekend from course set up to Varsity girls sweep.

    See you in October!
