We are a youth development organization for student-athletes going into 6th through 12th grade. We offer age and ability based practices and an opportunity to race at mountain biking venues throughout the state as part of the Minnesota Cycling Association.
Our coaching staff is made up of volunteers and we are not directly affiliated with the Bloomington school system.
Bloomington Riders is a combination of the Bloomington Jefferson team, our Division 1 team, and the Bloomington Composite Team, our Division 2 team. The Bloomington Jefferson team is comprised of students that either attend or plan to attend Jefferson high school.
Our Bloomington Composite team is made up of students that attend other schools, such as Kennedy, charter schools, or students that are homeschooled. Typically, student-athletes on either team must attend a Bloomington school or must live in the Bloomington school district.
Our D1 and D2 teams practice together, share the same coaches, and are generally indistinguishable except that on race days, our D1 and D2 teams race against student athletes in their same divisions.
