The NCK Raptors Mountain Bike Team is preparing for their fourth season with one informational meeting with local coaches. The meeting will be held on Sunday, December 3rd, 2-4 p.m. at Palen Family Farms, east of Tipton, KS. The NCK Raptors team is open to boys and girls 6th to 12th grade from area schools and homeschool students in North Central Kansas, and is in the fourth year of the Interscholastic Kansas Cycling League. Practice commences in January, and attending this meeting is the best ‘first step’ for all new riders, along with our current team members.
The trails will be open for family rides after the meeting, so all are welcome to bring bikes and helmets.

Head Coach, John McClure, commented, “We’re excited for our fourth season for the NCK Raptors and getting more kids on bikes. We had an amazing third year with our team of student athletes and we’re looking forward to growing our team once again!”
The NCK Raptors Mountain Bike Team, founded in 2020, is an official club in North Central Kansas and plans to hold practices starting in January for the spring event season. The team will compete in the Interscholastic Kansas Cycling League which provides programs to help students achieve both competitive and non-competitive cross-country mountain biking goals and comprises the easiest route for youth to get involved in the life-long sport of cycling.
