The season officially starts July 1st, 2026 and concludes October 25th, 2026. The team banquet celebration will be held on Sunday November 2nd, 2026. 

Your total costs will depend on your grade level and the number of races you will participate in. We have laid out anticipated costs below (excluding equipment that you may have or need to purchase). As an example, If you are a high school rider who plans to race all 4 races, your total financial commitment would be ~$650. You can save by signing up for races by 4/30.

Fees:

• Georgia Cycling requires all athletes to pay $215 to participate with a local team. 

• Parkview MTB team dues are $200

  • These dues include a practice jersey, a race jersey, and help cover team supplies (first aid kits, spare parts, nutrition, walkie-talkies, etc.) team swag, and two tickets to the End of the Season Team Banquet.

• If you plan to participate in all 4 races, there is an additional fee (discounts available if you sign up early)

  • 6&7th grade riders - $135 if paid by 4/30; $165 if paid by 6/30; $185 if paid by 8/22

  • 8th - 12th grade riders - $170 if paid by 4/30; $205 if paid by 6/30; $225 if paid by 8/22

  • You can register for individual races - roughly $60 per race (discounts available by signup date)

Georgia Cycling has both financial assistance and bike loaner assistance available. Please visit GA Cycling for the application and more details. 

Racing is a cornerstone of the Georgia Cycling program and Parkview MTB highly encourages all riders sign up to race and put their skills into practice. Races are mainly divided by grade level and gender (e.g. 7th grade boys race seperately than 7th grade girls). The number of laps required will differ based on middle school vs. high school riders. 

Our philosophy at Parkview MTB is that when you race, you're competing against yourself only. Your coaches are here to celebrate your accomplishments and goals - whatever they may be. Your teammates will be there to cheer you on at the start and the finish line.  We want all riders to cross the finish line with confidence and a sense of pride in what they achieved.

Race days are full of fun, energy, good food, and celebrating each rider. They can be early starts and we do recommend families considering  heading to the race the night before if schedules allow (camping / hotel details will always be shared). The team tent will have space for both riders and their families to hang out before and after their races. There is hot breakfast and lunch prepared in the team tent as well as snacks to fuel a fun day. Riders and families are encouraged to cheer on other atheletes during their races (cowbells are great to bring!) and to serve as a cheer squad at the finish line.  

There are great vendors, food trucks, and skills clinics to check out in-between races as well. It's alot of fun and we can't wait to see you at the team tent. 

FANTASTIC! We need coaches and team parents to keep our season running smoothly. If you are interested in coaching, please reach out to parkviewmtb@gmail.com and we will get you connected with GA Cycling and start your training. 

If you are interested in helping support Parkview MTB as a team parent, we would love your help. Volunteers are needed for race days, fundraiser events, and end of season banquet support. We also need assistance with events throughout the season to celebrate our riders.
