We are Huron Valley United, a local mountain bike club, as well as a scholastic/composite mountain bike race team, operating under MISCA (Michigan Scholastic Cycling Association), riding in Milford, Michigan. We invite students grades K-12, of all abilities, from across the Huron Valley school district to join us as one united team to discover what the sport of mountain biking is all about.
Although we offer opportunities to race as a team, it is not necessary for you to race your mountain bike in order to join us on our rides. We have students who only join us for the club rides in the spring and for the practices in the summer and fall. They have a ton of fun and we think it's great!
The race team is there for those students who enjoyed the club rides and are interested in developing their skills a little further. The right fit is completely up to you. Our goal is to introduce the sport of mountain biking to kids in a way that allows them to grow in their confidence and abilities, leading them to a lifetime love of riding their bikes.

Thank you Eric Carlsen, Jeanette Mooradian Russle, and our HVUR Family for taking the time to capture the seasons in your photos and for generously sharing these moments with us on our social media pages.
Riding with Huron Valley United means tackling the trails together in a supportive, positive, and enjoyable team environment regardless of whether it is a club ride, a team practice, or a race day. This camaraderie fosters confidence and greatly improves student's mountain biking skills, leaving our kids feeling accomplished, empowered, and most important, having lots of fun.
Our Coaches are amazing and love helping the students achieve their mountain biking goals. Every HVUR coach is an adult volunteer that has received a background check and has completed concussion training per MISCA standards. HVUR Coaches are also CPR/First Aid Level 1, 2, or 3 certified and have completed additional coaching clinics to ensure that our kids are having fun and enjoying their mountain bikes safely.

"As someone completely new to biking, I think it is a great sport to do. The kids and parents involved are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. The one thing I learned while biking is that you shouldn't let fear dictate how you ride."

"I have raced for HVUR since the seventh grade. Over the six years on the team, HVUR gave me the opportunity to train with coaches and team members to build strength and technical skills in a fun team environment. Representing HUVR for MISCA gave me great exposure to the competitive youth racing circuit where I could compete with the best cycling athletes in the state. HUVR compelled me to continue racing at a high level where I will continue to compete in college.
