2014 is off to a great start with coaches and ride leaders getting together to talk about the upcoming season.  It was really nice to see Sarah take the skills and excitement that she gained from her senior year of high school mountain biking and apply it to officially start the first ever mountain biking club at Casper College!!  Way to go Sarah!

The CAMBYR coaching staff is very happy to say that we will be in the high schools this spring to recruit.  The CAMBYR youth will be racing all summer long in the local Fat Fish Racing mountain bike series.  So if you are a student or a parent of a youth that is interested in mountain biking, then look for those cool jerseys out on the trails this summer.

Official practices will start in July this year with one practice per week.  Starting in August, practices will be 3 days a week and roughly 1.5 hours per practice.

What does it take to be a member of CAMBYR??
-registration with NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) $50
