Yes, but the team has equipment you could borrow for short-term use.  Please don't purchase a bike prior to joining!  Recommended equipment for the season: helmet, mountain bike, closed-toe shoes, sports bottle, or hydration pack.  The Mad Hatter coaches will be happy to provide additional information on equipment to assist in bike fitting and equipment safety standards.

The Mad Hatters typically practice two (2) hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the season.  Additional Group rides/Adventure rides, Teen Trail Corp days, GRiT Rides, and community outreach are scheduled at the team's convenience.  

The Kentucky Interscholastic Cycling League race series is typically five (5), optional, competitive races consisting of a Saturday Pre-ride Day and a Sunday Race Day.  The student-athletes are encouraged to engage in other physical activities in addition to organized practices to assist in meeting their personal goals for the season.  

*You do not have to race to be a part of the team-all are welcome*

The Mad Hatters consider Silver Creek Mountain Bike Park in Berea, Kentucky as their HOME  Trail and will often meet there to practice.  https://www.facebook.com/SCBPmtb
