What\u2019s in the Name?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Roots, log overs, gravel, sand, mud, hills\u2026steep hills, drops etc.: All mountain bikers overcome organic and mental obstacles that terrain throws at them. Every rider remembers the freedom of learning to pedal for the first time. Anyone who has taken a leap to mountain bike vividly recalls their first experience riding over a tree root.<\/p>

Skills \u2013 like riding over roots- raise the fun factor and instill confidence in an environment where adversity is met with grit. Muddy freckles are met with smiles. This confidence spills over into other aspects of one\u2019s life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our History <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

2020 was our inaugural year. The group went from being a dream to a reality. The group quickly gained interest. Mission: more girls on bikes! We saw roll models increase from three to seven and youth enrollment increase from five \u2013 thirty. Social Media interest went from zero to seventy.<\/p>

This group was the brainchild of two \u2018gal pal\u2019 singletrack riders from Rochester. The originators partnered with Full Moon Vista and ROOTZ was born!<\/p>

ROOTZ will kick off its third season in Spring 2023 with the support & sponsorship of Full Moon Vista Bike & Sport.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
