The committee\u2019s target for the first year is to build up a group of 25 to 30 young members. The club welcomes young people from St-Cergue as well as from the surrounding towns: Arzier, Bassins, Le Vaud, Genolier, Givrins, Tr\u00e9lex and Gingins.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to close collaboration with the local authorities in St-Cergue and other local stakeholders, the club is planning, in the not-too-distant future, to create one or more fun training trails featuring obstacles. This unique facility in the region would be the go-to destination for all mountain biking enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>The club is also looking for partners willing to invest in facilities to support the development of mountain biking through sponsorship.<\/p>\n<p>Training sessions will be led by instructors holding the \u2018Youth and Sport\u2019 qualification: Youth Sports Cycling Instructor<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtt-st-cergue.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtt-st-cergue.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"uk-button uk-button-secondary\">Find out more about the ST-CERGUE mountain biking school<\/a><br \/>Annual membership fee: 90 CHF&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;The Mountain Biking Club at a glance<\/h2>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; padding-bottom: 40px; display: inline-block;\">\n<div style=\"width: 50%; float: right;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6038\" src=\"https:\/\/guide-vtt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/picto-niveau-vtt.png\" alt=\"improve at cross-country running\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/> Training sessions tailored to different levels<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6039\" src=\"https:\/\/guide-vtt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/picto-velo-VTT.png\" alt=\"improve at cross-country running\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/>&nbsp;Annual membership fee of 90 CHF<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 50%; float: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6040\" src=\"https:\/\/guide-vtt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/picto-groupe-vtt.png\" alt=\"improve at cross-country running\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/>&nbsp;Ages 10 and over<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6041\" src=\"https:\/\/guide-vtt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/picto-duree-vtt.png\" alt=\"improve at cross-country running\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/>&nbsp;Duration of training sessions: 1.5 hours<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6125\" src=\"https:\/\/guide-vtt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Moniteur.png\" alt=\"Instructor\" width=\"173\" height=\"198\" style=\"margin: 8px; float: left;\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Damien NARDIN<\/h4>\n<h5>Youth Sports Cycling Coach&nbsp;<\/h5>\n<p>\u00abI\u2019ve been passionate about mountain biking since I was a child, and I want to pass on my love of the sport to young people in the region.
