How you help

We are always looking for enthusiastic Adventure Leaders for Adventure Bike Club. You don’t have to be a hard-core rider to be a Leader; you just need enthusiasm and a desire to help kids in our community. You don’t ride? That’s OK. We need help at Basecamp, too.

About us

U.P. native and outdoor enthusiast Todd Poquette formed 906 Adventure Team in 2014 hoping to fill a void: While there were race teams and a handful of group rides, there weren’t any groups welcoming youth or adults new to the bike scene. At the same time, he learned through youth programs and event direction that people weren’t drawn to mountain biking just to compete. For many the allure was deeper, more personal – about adventure.
