Attention Parents! Registration for SendTown’s Ciclismo High School Mountain Bike Program closes June 15th.

Whether your student is an experienced racer, brand new to mountain biking, or simply looking for a fun way to ride with friends, Ciclismo welcomes riders of all ability levels. Racing is optional, and athletes can participate in practices only if they prefer.

The season begins August 8th and runs through October 25th, with practices held three days per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. No one is cut from the team, and every rider gets equal opportunities to develop skills, ride trails, and be part of a supportive cycling community.

For riders interested in racing, Fort Collins competes in the Platte Division of the Colorado High School Cycling League. The 2026 race schedule includes:

  • August 30th – Frisco
  • September 12th – Steamboat Springs
  • September 27th – Eagle
  • October 10th – Nathrop
  • October 24-25th – State Championships, Glenwood Springs (qualification required)

Students from Fort Collins, Fossil Ridge, Rocky Mountain, Poudre, and any other Northern Colorado high school are welcome. If your school does not have a mountain bike team, you can still race as part of the Ciclismo program.

Learn more and register before June 15th at sendtown.org.
