Anyone interested in finding out more about Shorewood’s coed Middle and High School mountain biking team, be sure to join us at our ONLINE Informational Meeting - Wednesday, May 1st - 7•8 PM.
Mountain bike and previous cycling experience are not required. Team bikes are available for those who don't currently have a mountain bike.

Shorewood MTB is coed and inclusive, open to student-athletes in grades 6-12. Our season begins with team practices in July, building toward MTB Festival/Race weekend camping trips in the fall (Racing is not mandatory). Our team provides activity, exploration and competition with an eye toward skill development, teamwork and fun!

Shorewood MTB is part of the Wisconsin League of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). NICA develops interscholastic cycling leagues, trains coaches and volunteers, and ultimately enables teens to develop strong body, mind, and character through cycling.

Interested students, parents, adult volunteers and supporters are all encouraged to attend! Feel free to contact us via email ([email protected]) if you have any additional questions…We hope to see you there!

Please take 5 minutes today to help us advocate for mountain bike trails at Havenwoods State Forest, just 6 miles from Shorewood.

What we need you to do:
1. Review the SCORP page: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/fl/PropertyPlanning/Scorp
2. Complete the online input form and emphasize the importance of mountain bike trail expansion: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZMG3KLT

Got a little writer’s block or short on time? Our friends at Metro Mountain Bikers have created a summary of information to consider using.

Question 1: We suggest entering “Participation rates, equitable distribution of opportunities, and expand the number and diversity of people participating in outdoor recreation by ensuring opportunities are available close to home.” You are welcome to enter other content as well.�

Question 2: We suggest entering “None” or a specific answer if you have one

Question 4: We suggest checking “Places to go are too far away” and “Places to go are too crowded or overused” in addition to any other options you feel are appropriate for you.

Question 6: We suggest selecting “Strongly Support” for “Ensure the equitable distribution of opportunities” and “Expand the number and diversity of people participating in outdoor recreation”

Question 7: We suggest something along the lines of “I would like to see expanded mountain biking trails at Havenwoods State Forest and adjacent to the Hank Aaron Trail. Youth and their families mountain biking has exploded in popularity in Wisconsin.
In the City of Milwaukee and surrounding communities near the lake, participation in NICA team is greatly limited by the lack of quality trails close to home. Havenwoods in particular would allow us to open up this fantastic sport for young people and their families, eliminating the need for transportation to far away trail systems.”�

Question 9: We suggest checking “Mountain biking” in addition to any other options you feel are appropriate for you.

Thank you!!

Trailwork Opportunity!

With the warmer temps, we will continue our trail-building at Kletzsch Park this Saturday (April 13th) and on Sunday, April 21st. We will be cleaning up the trail, widening it in spots, and also fixing some of the bench cuts. With lots of volunteers, two days of work should be enough.

Make sure you wear layers, work gloves, and eye protection. Bring a water bottle so we can reduce single-use plastic. We will have some treats. If you have any appropriate tools, please bring them along. Finally if you haven't signed the Metro waiver in the past year, please do that. Here’s the link to SignUp Genius.

Thanks so much-
