– Cross country mountain bike – no kick stand. The bike should have at least 10 gears, shift well, and have good brakes. We would caution you to stay away from department store bikes (ie: Target/Walmart) as they are very heavy and tend to break down causing stress on the rider and coaches.
– Helmet – make sure it fits and is not too big or small. If more than 3 years old it is recommended to replace your helmet.
– Good Shoes – no sandals or open toe shoes.
– Water Bottle or camelbak
– Team Jersey
Recommended Equipment
– Safety Glasses – clear glasses are best, sunglasses are ok – however they can make it harder to see in the woods
– Bike Gloves – highly recommended for kids who get sweaty hands when exercising
– Bike shorts – we have shorts available to purchase.
– Long underwear – races and practices in late September and October can be chilly.
