Practices
Our athletes have the chance to practice three times a week, but since many of them are involved in other extracurricular activities and prioritize their school work, they are not required to attend every practice.
Weekdays
Practices are split into two groups based on rider ability: Mon & Thu 5:45-7:45pm or Tue & Wed 5:45-7:45pm @ Sope Creek / Cochran Shoals Trail System
Weekends
Riders of all ability levels practice together at various greater Atlanta area and North Georgia trail systems. Sundays 2:00-5:00pm
