The Lone Peak Jr. Devo Mountain Bike Team is run by a dedicated group of volunteers. The staff section provides more information about these folks. This team is a member of the Utah High School Cycling League (the Utah League). The league, in turn, is one of over 30 affiliate leagues of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). These leagues span the United States. They provide education, training, events (like races), licensing, and insurance for student-athletes, coaches, and volunteers.
The riders on the Lone Peak Jr. Devo mountain biking team will be in either 7th or 8th grade in August of this year. So, students who are 6th and 7th graders at the beginning of the year are eligible to register for the upcoming season.
Because this is a mountain bike team, each rider needs an appropriately sized mountain bike. Safety is paramount. Both before and during the season, we'll work with each rider (and parents) to determine if a particular bike is suitable for training and racing.
The bike must have:
• 26-inch, 27.5-inch, or 29-inch wheels
• At least five gears
• Front and rear brakes with significant stopping power. Disc brakes are preferred and perform best.
You do not need a full-suspension bike. Many of the fastest racers ride bikes without a rear shock. Bikes sold at department/big-box-stores are not up to the demands of the trails we ride.
Here's a breakdown:
PRE-SEASON runs April 1 through May 31. The team can't conduct any training rides during this pre-season, so instead of training, we’ll use this time to handle team registration, conduct a bike check, a bike maintenance workshop, and a skills clinic. Specific dates for these events are usually announced in April and May.
• TRAINING SEASON runs from the beginning of June through September. We will train as a team twice each week during June, July, August, and September.
• RACE SEASON overlaps with our training season—usually starting the last half of August and running through September—where we focus our training on race-specific skills.
Practices will be on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 7–9 p.m. Due to shortened daylight hours, practice time will adjust throughout the season. Practices are held at trail systems across the northern part of Utah Valley such as Lambert Park (Alpine), Valley Vista (Pleasant Grove), Hogs Hollow/Angels Gate (Highland), South Maple Hollow trailhead (Draper), and Peak View trailhead (Draper). A few times a season we will have practice in Eagle Mountain and maybe Herriman depending on our race locations for the year.
Our team is in Region 5 of the Utah High School Cycling League. Lone Peak Jr. Devo riders race with the other Region 5 Jr. Devo teams. We participate in three races each year. The Utah High School Cycling League sets the locations and dates, which are usually announced in February.
For the full details, head over to the Utah League’s Race page (remember, we are part of Region 5). As race dates get closer, the Utah League provides a detailed race flyer (found on that Race page) with course maps and information, “staging charts” (the schedule of who races and when), and other race-related information. Details are usually made available closer to the race season.
The team communicates through an app called TeamSnap. It is available through any web browser or official mobile apps for iOS and Android. The team will send you an invite to connect with Lone Peak Jr. Devo as part of the registration process. Through TeamSnap, we organize the details of weekly practices. Riders and ride leaders use TeamSnap to indicate that they will be attending each practice so we can organize ride groups in advance, ensuring sufficient adult coaching staff is present for each practice.
Yes! NICA (the National Interscholastic Cycling Association) requires that you be registered as a ride leader, which is a process we can absolutely help you complete. Being registered as a ride leader helps ensure student-athlete safety and gives you the (relatively painless) training you need to successfully interact with the riders. Let us know if you are interested in being a ride leader. It’s a great way to volunteer and stay fit!
The team absolutely needs you, so thank you for your interest. Everything we do operates through the selfless contributions of volunteers.
Ways to help:
1) Become a regular, dedicated ride leader.
2) Commit to volunteering at races. Each athlete must have an adult family member volunteer at the races both with the team and the league. Plan on at least 2 hrs of volunteering at a race before or after your athlete races.
3) Help with team parties and bringing treats to practices.
If you are interested in sponsoring the team please reach out to the Lone Peak High School coach. Our team is part of the Utah County Youth Cycling 501(c) 3, a non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
Yes! We want our team to be accessible to all. Please reach out by completing this application form. The Utah League has a similar program for their fees. Details are here.
Coaching this year is about the youth, period. We care, we support, we praise, and we build them to what they can be. This is not about getting good rides in, but is about assisting you, as parents, to help every one of our youth to grow in character, mind, and body through the life-long sport of cycling (based off the NICA vision).

Hi! I’m Coach Camille. Mom of 4 girls who all ride with various levels of spice. I fell in love with MTB fairly recently after starting with a lot of fear. Now it’s my favorite! Also my favorite—photography, hiking, and nachos.

Most youth love adventure, friendship, and the hope for a ton of fun. Here it is! While many things compete for our children's time and energy like TV, video games, and social media, this, however, will build health, structure, and a well-rounded approach to life and trials while satisfying that basic need to grow socially, physically, and emotionally. Come join us and live.
Friendships grow when we work, play, suffer, and have fun together. Looking back on these years, youth are destined to make lasting friendships. Join us. A friend is waiting.
We're blessed to have beauty all around us. Sunsets at practice, dirt in our faces, the smell of sweat, and working aggression out in the outdoors. That is adventure & beauty.
Whether your child wants to be an Olympian or just have fun, here they will learn and grow and be supported and praised. Your youth will improve from whatever level they start at.
Mountain biking competes both individually and as a team. Victory and defeat are both valuable to growth. Self-pressure in the moment can be healthy when harnessed correctly.
This team is serious about building all youth. We have an amazing group of young women and frankly, they carry the team. We also highly encourage youth with disabilities to join!
We commit to help your youth love mountain biking. We aren't always successful, but it won't be because of a lack of fun times and the feeling of belonging on the team.
While creating fun, we teach discipline and build your youth's physical and emotional well-being. They thrive in the outdoors, away from distractions at school and on social media.
Being on the team means some solid discounts to support the amazing hobby we all have. "Save yourself into the poor house", as some of these deals can lead to 40% savings.
Girls Riding Together
A special program designed especially for girls and women. We can only be truly equal when we address that many females need different things to feel welcome and invited into our programs. Tear it up on the trails with instruction from female coaches, social activities, and female-only competition.
Ride Like A Girl
A mountain bike team is a family. Having adult family members that really care about the kids and who are educated to train, encourage, praise, and lovingly correct is crucial to the success and growth of the individual and the team. The Lone Peak Jr. Devo team is a place you can make a difference. Welcome aboard.
Spend time together, several days a week in fun, learning situations. You'll get to see your kids interact with other youth and adults in a non-threatening way. How valuable is that?
You can and will make a difference in the lives of these amazing youth. Seeing them grow and progress changes us as leaders for the better. You are needed as part of our family.
Getting ourselves outside does as much good as it does our kids. Smell the trees, dirt, and sweat, and get that blood moving. Be happier in the open air and build friendships.

Our program of inclusivity
The Elevate program was developed in 2015 as a way to include students with physical or cognitive disabilities. Race courses can be adapted to meet the needs of the Elevate riders by providing distance and technical challenges appropriate to their ability.
