During the fall of 2015 the official Dripping Springs Mountain Bike Team formed and the 2023/2024 season will be our ninth season. We are a composite club, (which means our team is comprised of kids from area schools – home schoolers & private schoolers, too – who are middle school and high school ages.)
All levels of riders are welcome – from beginners to advanced.
The DSMTB team is funded solely by our generous sponsors and donors.
Our inaugural season we introduced and developed mountain biking skills to about 60 kids. Something that they can take with them for decades to come. Since then we have developed several state champions and established scholarships for graduating senior athletes.
Coach Lance Thornton, was given an award from the Dripping Springs ISD Board for going above and beyond the call of duty in and outside the classroom for his work with the mountain bike team.
We also entered into an agreement with the City of Dripping Springs to allow our team to build and use mountain bike trails in the 75+ acre Ranch Park. These trails are now open to the public. The team received a proclamation from the city in 2019 for Volunteers Of The Year for the trail building at Ranch Park.
The Dripping Springs Mountain Bike Team is a 501(c)(3) organization.
