Aspire

XC, JR, and Race

ASPIRE MTB unites mountain bikers from across the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding areas creating opportunities for friendship, developing skills, building fitness, and discovering potential through riding and racing.

ASPIRE RACE challenges mountain bikers to discover their potential by setting meaningful goals, training with purpose, and racing with intent. Through hard work, discipline, and teamwork, we build stronger athletes ready to perform their best on and off the bike.

Cross country is endurance focused with riders working to develop skills that will carry them over rough terrain that includes anything from unpaved fire roads to technical single track filled with rocks, roots, and ruts.

All Aspire riders are divided into skill based groups and ride primarily in Zone 2 to develop a strong base for summer and fall racing. Aspire JR riders are divided into groups based on friends as well as age, skill, and fitness.

Parents help coach our XC & JR teams. We offer coach training and pair new coaches with seasoned coaches. Consider coaching for Aspire!
