Cheat Mountain Salamanders

Season 6 is officially underway for the Cheat Mountain Salamanders.
We kicked things off at the Monday Lick Trail System, and the kids had an absolute blast. Safe to say they'll all be sleeping well tonight after an awesome evening on the trails!
A huge thank you to POCA Trails for having the trail system in prime condition. If you've been thinking about getting out for a ride, now is the time, the trails are riding great!

As the Cheat Mountain Salamanders conclude our 5th season in the WVICL, we are incredibly proud of how far our team has come. This year we welcomed a remarkable 18 student-athletes, supported by 6 dedicated coaches who put in countless hours to help our riders grow in skill, confidence, and passion.
One of our proudest moments came at our second race of the season, where all 18 of our athletes competed—a testament to their commitment and the strength of our program.
With this growth comes increased expenses: travel, equipment, maintenance, and proper nutrition for race day. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of our community sponsors. Their support helped ensure that every rider had the opportunity to participate fully and safely throughout the season.
We encourage everyone in our community: if you patronize these businesses or run into these supporters, please take a moment to thank them. Their investment in our young athletes makes a real difference and keeps the spirit of our team strong.
To our sponsors—thank you for believing in the Cheat Mountain Salamanders and helping us make this season one to remember. 💚🏔️🚵‍♀️
