The Spirit of Inclusion

The CAF-Idaho Mountain Bike Apex Weekend is led by world-class coaches, mentors and volunteers who ensure that we meet every participant where they are at. Whether you ride an upright bike with an adaptation, an off-road handcycle, or a foot-powered recumbent bike we will strive to create an environment where everyone can participate.

Community and Mentorship

The CAF-Idaho Community extends beyond the trails. Throughout the weekend, participants and mentors share experiences, build friendships, and learn from one another in a supportive atmosphere where everyone belongs.

Safety and Fun

Our team prioritizes safety at every stage, ensuring that each athlete can explore Mountain Biking with confidence and joy. Whether you’re aiming for competition or simply discovering the thrill of biking for the first time, this program is designed for you.
