Boys and Girls from the Highlands Ranch area high schools (Arma Dei Academy, Rock Canyon, Thunder Ridge, Mountain Vista, Highlands Ranch HS and Valor) make up the team. We even have a few folks who reside in this area but attend other schools/home school.
Both experienced and beginner riders are welcome. In fact, we have many riders who barely rode a bike at all before joining the team! Don’t be shy. Your skill level will increase tremendously after a few weeks of practice.
The team is affiliated with the Colorado High School League and each of the area high schools.
A great deal of information is on the high school league website: www.Coloradomtb.org. Please free free to email our team if you have specific questions after reading all the info below: scott@hrjc.bike.
While the team enjoys practicing as one family under the HRJC logo, we all race for our respective high schools on race day. It is a wonderful experience to be cheering on not only for your own school, but for the other schools that are in close proximity to your own. Together, the Highlands Ranch Junior Cycling team comprises one of the larger groups at each race.
Each high school rider wears their own jersey and colors. Points are scored for each high school.
Races are not mandatory, though certainly encouraged. The fee for entry in 2024 is $70 per race, or $240 for a 4 race season pass. The locations range all over Colorado and become a weekend event for your whole family. Races happen every other week in the fall, totaling four races, plus an additional 5th race for the State Championship (for qualifiers).
Race information and registration is available at https://coloradomtb.org/race-schedule-2024/
2025 HRJC Race Schedule:
The HRJC Colorado High School League Club practices on Mondays, Wednesdays and most Fridays beginning Aug 4, 2025 from 4:30-6:30pm. Practice locations vary around the Highlands Ranch area, but are predominantly begin from Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon High Schools. Practice locations are updated regularly in the Spond App (see below). The season ends with the Colorado League State Championships October 18-19 for those that qualify, but as Championship week is also Fall Break, the last practice will be Friday, October 10.
Each rider is required to wear a helmet and needs a mountain bike in good working order. Water and snacks are critical. Team jerseys for races are required and must be purchased separately. Gloves, cycling shoes and sunglasses are also highly recommended.
Do not let the state of your mountain bike deter you from joining the team!! HRJC has bikes available for you to use. Please inquire with Coach Scott if you need a bike for the high school season.
This team is supported by an amazing set of volunteers and coaches, We couldn’t ask for better leaders for these kids, and their investment in each of their lives is immeasurable.
Our Ride Leaders are certified coaches that allow us to have a ratio of adult leaders to student riders hovering around 6-to-1, which is amazing. Three nights a week, a large group of parents saddle up and ride the trails with our student athletes, and develop a camaraderie with the team that is nothing short of magical.
Finally, each of the parents give back to the team throughout the season, through managing our hectic race days, hosting team dinners, bringing food for the team tent, etc. etc. etc. We couldn’t do it without the parents!

You MUST register for a race 7 days in advance WITH THE COLORADO LEAGUE, or you will not be able to race! There is no onsite registration. We recommend registering now for all 4 races.

If you plan on racing for your high school, you are required to wear your high school’s jersey. It’s also great to have a uniform that represents your school! You do not have to purchase a new jersey if you have one from the 2023 or 2024 season.
Jerseys will be delivered the week prior to the first high school race in late August.
