Eagle County Programs
mountain biking in the vail valley
Stretching from the world-class mountain town of Vail to the high desert landscapes of Dotsero, Eagle County offers expansive trail access and is home to two unique teams: Eagle and Edwards. The Cycle Effect maintains strong relationships with local schools and community recreation partners, fostering a holistic, supportive community that encourages riders to explore, grow, and thrive.
Girls Mountain Bike & Mentorship Program
The Girls Mountain Bike Program has helped over 1,000 young riders discover their potential—both on and off the bike. There’s never been a better program for girls to grow their confidence, find belonging, and gain access to year-round experiences that shape their futures. Through mentorship and skill-building, Cycle Effect riders grow into their most empowered selves, while having fun and building lasting friendships.
