Mountain Biking

Our Philosophy

South Kent School’s mountain biking program was established in 2013. As a founding member of the Housatonic Mountain Biking League (HMBL), our program brings together riders of all abilities, from the most competitive racers to those new to the sport, to compete and enjoy this lifelong sport and the great trail systems throughout New England.

The HMBL races weekly throughout the fall with the league championship race as the culminating event after the regular season has concluded. In the spring season, the team focuses on skill building, fitness and endurance while riding Southern New England’s best trails. Each member of the program learns how to ride safely and effectively while also learning the basics of bike and trail maintenance. Our program has both a fall and spring season.

The Trails

South Kent School partnered with Sinuosity Flowing Trails of Vermont to construct eight miles of exciting flow trail systems on the School’s 550 acre campus. Trails include single track cross-country routes, dual track, rustic logging roads, and intermediate and expert flow trail sections. Interspersed you will find logs to traverse, streams to cross, tabletops to double, berms to carve, bridges to ride and rock gardens to test all skills and abilities.  Visit our Trails.
