Ride with the Revolutions

​Here are some of the most common questions about joining the Revolutions. 

What towns does the Revolutions Mountain Bike Club cover?

If your student athlete lives or goes to school in Morristown, Morris Township,  Morris Plains, Florham Park, Randolph, Mine Hill, Dover, Victory Gardens, Roxbury, East Hanover, Hanover Twp, Whippany or Livingston then we are your team!​

Oh no, I don't see my town above. Can I still join?

No problem, contact us or click here for the league's team map to find your local team. If you don’t see your town on the league map, just contact is an we will get you out riding with whichever group works best for you!

What ages are eligible for the team?

Student athletes in grades 6 through 12 can join the team.

Can I try it out?

Absolutely! You will have to sign a one-time waiver so you can join us on a team practice ride (kids and potential coaches are welcome).

Is NICA co-ed?

YES ! ! ! ! The league is looking to grow our female shredders out there. NICA's GRiT program is specifically designed to welcome female riders to the sport.

Is experience necessary?

No. We do, however, ask that your child can confidently ride a bicycle. 

My child loves to ride bikes. But I'm not sure if he/she would enjoy racing. Is racing mandatory?

Absolutely not! Some of our student athletes love racing, while others enjoy the exercise with friends or plain old fun that comes with riding. The Revolutions main goal is getting more kids riding bikes and to sharing the thrill of mountain biking. Racing is awesome, but winning races is not what it is all about.

Is a mountain bike necessary?

Yes, you will need your own mountain bike. We do have team loaner bikes for short-term use. The league does have some loaner bikes for long-term use for needs based riders.

Will any mountain bike do?

Well, that is a tricky question.. There are a lot of bikes out there that are designed to look like mountain bikes, but can't hold up to the demands of the sport. A good rule of thumb: if a bike shop sold you a mountain bike, you're likely good to go. If it was purchased from a big box store, it may not be safe for riding on trails and you should check with a coach.

When does your season run?

Preseason starts in October. This is a great time to try riding with the team. Our regular season runs from December to June and you may register anytime during the season.

What does the practice schedule look like?

Throughout the coldest months, we try to get in one ride per weekend, weather permitting. Once we change the clocks in the Spring, our season ramps up and we have two weeknight practices in addition to a weekend ride.

What if your practice conflicts with another sport my child plays?

We realize kids are busy and have other commitments. But we're flexible. All we ask is that your child makes it to practice when possible.

Where do you practice?

The majority of our practices are at Lewis Morris and Dickerson Mine. On weekends, we frequently ride at other local parks.

When and where are the races?

Racing season starts in April and runs through June. We participate in 5 races that are spread out around New Jersey.

Cool sports like mountain biking are always expensive. How much is it to join?

Our league frequently claims to be the best deal in youth sports -- and we agree! For approximately $300, your child gets over 6 months of riding and racing. There are no additional fees to participate in races. Please don't let finances dictate your decision...scholarships are available. 

Sounds great! How do I sign up!

It's easy! Contact Tom Gaynor, our Head Coach and he'll send you the sign-up link and answer any questions you have.
