​COMMITTEES
​

RACE TEAM COMMITTEE
Race members usually want to work hard, then play hard, both while riding and racing. This committee helps create weekly race team member rides and puts it on the shared member calendar along with upcoming races. These group rides are usually fast paced, intense, but, as always, fun for all who want to push themselves to the limit.

CLUB TEAM COMMITTEE
This committee organizes the weekly, no-drop, club member rides and puts it on the shared member calendar.  Rides can be challenging and will push many riders, but without the more intense workout/interval component. The main goal is to get both club and race members together to get to know one another, while keeping things fun.

JUNIOR COMMITTEE
Children are our future. We love seeing our junior riders learn and grow throughout the years as strong, determined, confident young women and riders.  This committee helps to identify, develop and organize a way to get more junior girls on bikes throughout our community while providing a healthy, safe, non-judgmental environment.

SKILLS CLINIC/EVENTS COMMITTEE
Our yearly MT Alpha skills clinic is well known in the area and fills up in a blink of an eye. This is the committee involved in making our yearly, all-women's (plus junior boys), MT Alpha spring skills clinic happen. Not only that, this committee also helps to put on other skills clinics for MT Alpha members if needed, along with other potential events.

TRAIL STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE
We want to be involved in educating both trail etiquette as well as understanding the hard work involved in maintaining trails in Missoula.  This is a committee that works closely with our fellow Missoula trail advocacy entities, including MTB Missoula. We all love the trails in Missoula, and so we all must help keep our trails viable for both humans and the surrounding nature.
