While many team coaches and riders made it an “epic” weekend in Cable, WI at the Borah Epic Bikefest, Coach Hans took a little time off between having raced 40 miles of single track on Saturday and 50 miles of gravel on Sunday to reconnect with one of the original MV Mountain Bike Team Coaches, Doug White!

Getting to know the trails before the season starts and working on skills is very important. Your coaches have been attending skills coaching and training sessions, and riding the local trails on which we will practice and race. First team practice is just over a month away! Get out there and ride!

Meet your Captain! Lance Karel will be a Junior in the fall. In addition to mountain hiking, Lance is on the MV Nordic and Trap teams. This will be his 5th year on the team, and he has honed his superpower of finding and hitting trees!!!! Seriously through, he can crank out massively high watts. If you see a trail of colored pebbles, it’s Lance eating skittles to fulfill his sugar needs.
