NCC offers a wide range of opportunities for riders of all ages and abilities, including youth cycling development and racing.
To stay in the loop about all of our programming, subscribe to the quarterly newsletter.
Youth cycling series: This is a safe, fun racing series for kids is held on a grass course at Look Park for children 3-12 years of age. This popular series has been held for well over a decade.
Junior cyclocross series: Each year, the NCC partners with the Northampton Parks & Recreation Department to run a training series for kids in grades 2 through 8. All riding levels and abilities are welcomed. Please have your child bring a working bike and a helmet, and we’ll do the rest.Recreational Mountain Biking: We offer twice weekly rides for kids in grades 3-12 from April-June and August-October. Depending on who shows up to a given ride, we will typically break the whole group into elementary (grades 5 and under), middle (6-8), and high school (9-12) groups. Each group will have 4-6 kids riding with 2-3 adults. This provides for a lot of opportunity for one-on-one instruction during the rides. Adults (parents, caregivers, family members, family friends) are welcome to ride with the group.
Trail Blasters racing team: We offer a mountain bike racing team in the spring and a cyclocross team in the fall for kids ages 10-18 participating in local series of races and other regional events.
NCC is generously supported by a variety of local businesses. Interested in becoming a club sponsor? Reach out to us!
