Our Mission

To provide a fun and safe environment for young cyclists to develop skills and passion that last a lifetime.

The Crested Butte Development Team is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was created to give the youth of our community a fun and safe outlet to explore the amazing mountains of the Gunnison Valley by mountain bike. Our main focus is to create lasting memories and provide each rider with not only superior bike handling skills but, more importantly, life skills that they will carry into their adulthood. We strive to instill a respect for self, our teammates and our community while practicing our very best trail etiquette.

Please note that the Crested Butte Development Team is NOT a race program.  We do not offer or encourage interval training, Strava K/QOM’s, compare watts, heart rates or any other data, etc. in any of our youth programs.  The exception is with our U19/HS riders preparing for the Colorado High School League race season.  We’re not here to say what is right or wrong, but this just isn’t what we do.  If this is what you’re looking for and/or you have higher achieving race goals for your child, we encourage you to plan these sessions around CB Devo programming as our days riding bikes together will be 100% fun & development-focused.  Thank you in advance for your support and understanding.
