Who We Are

We're a community of students, parents, and volunteers who love riding and racing mountain bikes.  Our team members are high school age boys and girls who attend public schools, private schools, and homeschools in Cupertino, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Mountain View, and Campbell.

BMC are NorCal Composite Teams Champions for 2024, topping 33 other teams across Northern California!  BMC won every race in the 2024 season and the championship as well!

What We Do
We are building a community around having fun riding and racing mountain bikes with friends.  Some of our team members want to win, others just want to get in better shape.  Some are extremely skilled riders, others are just learning to mountain bike.  We will seek to help you accomplish your own mountain biking goals.

Our Team
Black Mountain Composite is a mountain bike racing team for middle school and high school students in Cupertino and its neighboring cities.  We are an official member of the NorCal league of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA), a national high school mountain bike racing organization.  Within the NorCal league, we are in the Central conference, Division 2.  A composite team is not specific to a single school, so middle and high school students from any school in our area can join the team.

Black Mountain
Our name comes from the geographical focal point of where we ride the most – on the trails of Black Mountain and nearby Fremont Older, overlooking Rancho San Antonio and the Stevens Creek Reservoir. 

Who Can Join
We welcome any middle-school and high-school girl or boy in Cupertino or the surrounding cities.  There are no try-outs to make the team, no previous experience required, and no attendance requirements.  Racing is optional, although we’ll encourage you to try it at least once because it’s fun!

Our History
Our team started in 2012 as the Monta Vista Matadors High School Team.  In 2015, we found ourselves with riders from several different schools, operating more like a composite team.  We re-formed our team for the 2016 season as a composite team so that everyone who rides with us is recognized by NorCal as an official member of the team.  

2024 and 2017 State Champs!
We had a great time our first year in 2016 and also did well, coming in 3rd place in States in the "small composite" team category much to our surprise.  In 2017 we were a little bigger and at states our racers all had absolutely amazing races.  By a mere 9 points (that's about 2 individual places) we won California State Division 2 State Champs!  BMC's riders continue to bring in amazing results. In 2024, as a team BMC won every race in the season and also the Division 2 State Championship.
