Time is flying and so can you!
On your bike, as a member of the NWC Wolves Mountain Bike Team.

Our season may not start until July, but registration is OPEN and we are getting ready to roll. Everyone is welcome on this team--there are no tryouts and no cuts, and you don't have to race if that's not your vibe.

If you're ready to register now, follow the link in our bio to get signed up! If you still have questions, concerns, or want to see if we can help out with gear, reach out via DM or with an email to [email protected].

Spring is in the air: days are getting longer, temps are getting warmer, and the trails are ready to ride! If you've been thinking about joining the NWC Wolves (or just heard of them now and you're just a little bit curious) now is the time! While our season doesn't start until July, we have two June opportunities for you to come out and see what we're about.

On June 10th and 17th Detroit Mountain will be hosting FREE Meet the Wolves events from 5:00-7:00pm! We have bikes and helmets available if you need, just make sure to wear close-toed shoes! For anyone under 18, a parent/guardian will need to sign a waiver before you can ride.

We hope to see you there, and reach out via DM or to [email protected] if you have any questions!

We love chasing Dean through Maplelag Resort; let’s help him out!

Dean Vetter.

Our last, but not least, Dean Vetter. Dean is a local cyclist within the community that has left an everlasting ripple effect. Whether it’s Tuesday night road rides or hardcore shredding through the trees at with the Northwest Composite Middle/Highschool Mountain Bike Team, Dean carries the grit and the smiles.

If you met him twice or have known him since you were a kid, there’s one thing everyone says… he makes you feel like a best friend. A genuinly good connection.
Dean was injured in a freak bike accident last year. We ask the community to join together and give back to a man that has so selflessly given to so many others.
Please consider donating, racing the Patty Paddy, or just give his family a helping hand when that time comes…. It is the least we can do.
