All riders who register with Roanoke Star Cycling begin on our Recreational Team, which focuses on fun, foundational mountain bike skills, confidence on the bike, and a love for riding in a supportive team environment. The registration fee for the Rec Team is $150/season.
For riders who want to do more, several optional add-ons are available:
Bridge Team (Add-On): Designed for elementary age riders ready to take the next step, the Bridge Team includes an additional weekly practice focused on skill development, endurance, and progression toward our Race Team. The add-on registration fee for the Bridge Team is $35, for a total of $185/season.
Cross Country (XC) Race Team (Middle and High School Add-On): For high school athletes who want to compete, this add-on prepares riders for participation in NICA races in the fall and the Virginia High School Cycling League (VAHS) race series in the spring. The add-on registration fee for the Middle School and High School XC Team is $110, for a total of $260/season.
Families can choose the level of involvement that best fits their rider’s goals, experience, and schedule—whether that’s riding purely for fun or building toward competitive racing.
