About DEVO Duluth Mountain Bike Program
The mission of the Duluth DEVO Mountain Bike Program is to build strong bodies, minds and relationships through lifelong cycling.
​
Founded in 2013, as the Duluth Composite Mountain Bike Team, DEVO began as a team participating in the Minnesota High School Cycling League and have expanded to include programs for elementary-aged youth, as well as riders seeking more technical riding in our enduro program and youth interested in adventure riding rather than racing.
DEVO Duluth's programs have expanded to serve over 350 youth in 2023 in grades 2 - 12, and we are now known as Duluth DEVO Mountain Bike Program.
