REGISTRATION OPENS APRIL15th
5 Town Riders is a central community cycling club that aims to support youth riders (5th-12th Grade) as they develop individual bike skills in a team-focused environment. We offer skills training and trail rides in a group setting from June - October.
We also offer (but not require) participation in the VTYC Race series.
The club also dedicates time for Trail & Service work in our local community to give back to the landowners whose property we ride on and to teach the team about caring for the land and general trail/earth stewardship.

5Town Rider Club:
We welcome grades 5-12 to ride with us this summer/fall, you do not have to race to be part of the 5Town Riders. If you are interested in racing, then please register in addition to VTYC. A good working mountain bike with front/full suspension and hand brakes is a must, and your own transportation to training and races is a plus. The 5TR and BRD offer a free bike library for riders in need of a bike to use. Please contact the BRD to set up a bike for the season.

Schedule for 5TR Club:
1st Practice TBD, but will be at 5:00pm AT THE HUB TEEN CENTER.
New parents are welcome to contact us for more information.

Support Local Trails:
FIRST TRAIL DAY AT NEW LEAF ORGANICS: Saturday, April 18, 9-1:00 pm.

We also encourage all families to consider joining the Vermont Mountain Biking Association (VMBA) and selecting Addison County Bike Club (ACBC) as your primary chapter. https://vmba.org/current-term-membership/ ACBC has been a generous supporter of our youth program and plays a key role in maintaining and building trails both locally and throughout Vermont. VMBA members receive great perks including free or discounted lift tickets at several Vermont lift-served mountain biking destinations, discounts at bike shops and outdoor retailers, and more. Your membership directly supports the trails we ride and helps keep Vermont’s biking community thriving.

Please note: youth riders who register for the VTYC race series will receive a VMBA membership as part of their race registration—but this only covers the individual rider. Parents, siblings, and other family members are encouraged to join VMBA separately to support the trails and enjoy the benefits of membership.
