We are first and foremost a youth development organization! We work with students of all abilities and help them progress their skills. From practices to event weekends, there are lots of opportunities to get involved including team rides, GRiT pre-rides and activities, Teen Trail Corps, adventure rides, and of course, racing. We have an incredible team culture and prioritize supporting and cheering for our teammates no matter where they are in their mountain biking journey.
While our Gears are no stranger to the podium, our real strength is found in our team culture. While they're not supporting each other on the trail, they're probably goofing off with together, hanging with friends from other teams, or eating (there's a lot of eating). During the races, your athlete will spy Gears jerseys lining the trail and dominating the finish shoot! Costumes are always encouraged :).
Pulling off a season takes a village and we need your support. If you love spending time on a bike with rad people, coaching may be for you. If it's not your thing, your support is still critical. Our parents volunteer in a variety of different capacities from helping to organize team events and dinners to supporting the league on race weekends and beyond.
The Guilford Gears are so grateful for the support of our local bike club, Piedmont Fat Tire Society who maintains over 40 miles of local trail. We look forward to our continued partnership as we grow our Teen Trail Corps program and build the next generation of trail stewards.
