Out Spokin Bicycles Supports Local Youth Mountain Biking Teams

CANTON, GA – Out Spokin Bicycles has been an advocate of youth cycling since their inception, and now they are helping the Georgia Interscholastic Cycling League get #morekidsonbikes through their league sponsorship. The local bike shop recently donated seven new bikes to the GA League Loaner Bike program and hosted an info meeting for parents and middle and high school student-athletes interested in joining the GA League in the Canton/Woodstock areas.

“It is exciting to us to know that we could continue to contribute and support the future of cycling,” said Kevin Poske, 0wner of Out Spokin Bicycles.

Mountain biking is one of the fastest growing youth sports, and the GA League continues to experience explosive growth, adding 20 new teams for the 2017 season across Georgia and in parts of South Carolina.

Currently the Georgia League has three teams in Cherokee County, including Cherokee High School, Blankets Creek East and West teams. New teams are forming at Woodstock and River Ridge High School for the 2017 fall season.

ABOUT THE GA LEAGUE

The GA League is gearing up for their 4th competitive mountain biking season this September with 50 teams , 800 student-athletes, and 225 coaches expecting to participate across GA and in parts of South Carolina.
