2025 was an amazing year for the SEMO Mudcats! We continue to grow our family and get more kids and parents on bikes! We’re excited to grow the SEMO Mudcats and recruit more kids to ride bikes in Southeast Missouri! As we get ready for the 2025 season, we need your help to spread the word and inspire more kids to check out the Mudcats.

To kick things off, we’re hosting a Parent information meeting on Wednesday, April 22rd at 6:30pm at the Cape Girardeau Public Library.

PLEASE share this with your friends, neighbors, schools, churches, clubs, and anyone who might be interested! Our season begins soon, and we want to ensure no families miss out! Please ask that one parent attend meetings with students. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Thanks for helping us grow the team and get more kids on bikes!

Happy Riding,
