About Us
Carroll County Copperheads Team - 2022 Team Goals
The Carroll County Copperheads (CCC), formerly Carroll County Composite, team goals are simple: have fun, ride and race safely, and include and value every rider. CCC coaches are squarely focused on creating a team culture that is welcoming, safe, fun. We strive to teach riders that mountain biking is a life-long activity for good health, to develop a connection to the outdoors and to enjoy nature with their families and friends. Although the students are learning skills and gaining fitness, CCC coaches are most focused on teaching students how to respect each other, themselves, the environment, their trails, and their communities. Our athletes learn skills like changing flats and how and why to carry appropriate gear and tools. We emphasize teamwork and creating stronger and more confident student-athletes both on and off the bike. This is a unique high school and middle school team environment. There are no cuts; everyone rides and contributes to the team no matter his or her ability level.
If you are a team member and on Strava ask the head coach or team directors about joining our team group (see below).
The Season
Students who wish to compete (racing is not required) have 5 opportunities to compete at the state level at venues throughout Maryland during the fall race season. Races are in Fair Hill, Patapsco Valley State Park, Shaffer Farm, Deep Creek, and Rosaryville between August and late October.
