Our Story
From our sketches on a map to the dirt in your tread, we bring mountain biking to life. One Track Mind calls upon nature, volunteering, education, and exercise to create opportunities for more people to experience the transformative power of mountain biking. We partner with regional experts creating opportunities for local youth to develop skills to excel on the trail and in life.
For us, mountain biking transcends the trail. From our first time rolling up to a trailhead years ago to countless races around the country, the passion for mountain biking and the outdoors has become a driving force in our lives. Focus, perseverance, and a sense of adventure are born on a mountain bike and ripen into values that make us more complete people. With One Track Mind, we return to the source to bring mountain biking to the masses through dedicated trail stewardship.

Trail Etiquette
Mountain biking is pure heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping fun. There’s no greater feeling of freedom than when you’re out there ripping it up. It’s just you, your two wheels, and the trail. Well, sort of. Even on solo rides deep in the woods when you don’t see...
