Get A Taste Of What Sonora MTB Is All About
Purpose Of Fun Rides
Our fun rides are the front door for Sonora MTB. These are chill, no-pressure opportunities for those who might be interested in our team to join us for a fun time riding bikes and an introduction to our students, coaches, and mountain bike courses.
Something For Everyone
No matter your skill level or fitness level, there is a place here for you. We have riders who we affectionately call our spicy group who love to move fast, we have a group of mild riders who just love to ride their bikes at a slower pace, and we have our Devo group of riders who are new to the sport and just beginning to form their foundations on a bike.
We Teach Mountain Biking 101
Like any sport, there are the basics to learn, which will empower people to excel. We teach the foundations of proper bike maintenance, how to brake properly, shifting, cornering, and much more. During these fun rides, we will be giving micro lessons on various aspects of how to safely and efficiently ride a mountain bike.
We Have Fun!
Provide Riding Opportunities For The Students
Sonora MTB team will be competing in its seventh season in 2025 typically with 25-30 student-athletes registered to compete. The team is managed and coached by team director Damon Chidester along with 12 volunteers, certified ride leaders and coaches. Over the next few years, we expect to experience significant program growth. We want to be able to do our best to meet the future needs of our riders and the team. With your help, we can build a team that will not only benefit our student-athletes but will also benefit the riding community of Tuolumne County.
