After a successful inaugural season, the mountain biking team returns for its second season this spring. Under the tutelage of coaches Geoffrey Fox and Vlad Hucko, the squad is mixing in some fitness training, bike maintenance, and trail work into their weekly practice sessions. Second-year riders Ben Dowers and Clive Sutton have picked up where they left off and are shredding the switchbacks like seasoned pros. Newcomers Leilani Dorilas and Lavinia Frazzoli Cassi have proved to be quick studies and are getting more comfortable in the saddle every day. If you ever find yourself out on the trails between 3:15 and 4:30 p.m., be sure to keep an eye out for our team, who ride in their signature camo team jerseys.
