About
Roll with Us!
The Stillwater MTB is a cycling team that uses training and racing to develop riders and create camaraderie within a competitive sporting environment.
Founded in 2013 with just 26 student athletes, we are now over 90 strong with two state championships under our belt. Biking is a fall sport with races during the months of August - October. Optional training starts each July, with required practices starting in the Fall.
We compete against other teams in Minnesota under the rules of the Minnesota Cycling Association, known as MCA. We balance the competition with the aspects of a club to keep this sport fun. We want the camaraderie and friendships developed around riding to last a lifetime.
