Durango Devo offers kids the opportunity to build confidence, friendships, fitness, and outdoor skills through fun, accessible, creative cycling programs in the Durango area.
Through our generous scholarships, diverse outreach programs, memorable overnight trips, affordable town races, and free community programs, we strive to share the love of cycling and the outdoors with all Durango kids and families, regardless of background and financial situation.
In 2026, Devo celebrated 20 years of "Developing lifelong cyclists, one ride at a time"!
As we shift gears and dive into 2027, we are pushing hard to purchase a new van -- read on in the campaign below!
The mission of Durango Devo is to develop life-long cyclists, one ride at a time!
Durango Devo was born in 2006 to bring joy, confidence, and inner strength to Durango’s youth through the power of the bicycle. We believe that through the pursuit of mountain biking, we can help kids grow their appreciation for themselves, their community, and the environment.
With Devo, kids learn the power of effective goal setting, experience the thrill of tangible improvement, and are inspired and empowered to translate these lessons to other aspects of their lives. Devo's goals in the Durango community incorporate our belief that bikes are an incredible tool for enacting positive, tangible change in the lives of the people who ride them. At the end of the day, this is the guiding force that inspires all of us working with Devo.
Further, we aim to foster a safe, respectful, and conscientious appreciation and stewardship for the environment by engaging Durango's youth with the outdoors on their bikes. Not to mention the obvious: bikes provide a healthy, consistent, and positive outlet for kids (and adults!) to hone and focus their energy.
Before the mid-2000s, mountain biking was a niche sport with few youth participants and little to speak of in terms of support for those new to the pursuit. In Durango, Devo changed all of this. Growing from just 15 kids in two programs at its inception, Devo is one of Durango's largest and most widely recognized youth sports groups, in addition to being one of the most successful cycling development teams in the country.
Over the years, Devo has seen tremendous success, both in the competitive and non-competitive spheres. From a racing perspective, no other cycling development program compares to Durango Devo. Devo alumni include Olympians, World-Tour pros, Grand Tour stage winners, Cape Epic champions, World Championship medalists, UCI Overall World Champions and over 50+ national champions.
But, even while Devo continues to churn out some of the world's best racers, at its core Devo is not a racing program! Devo's mission is to develop lifelong cyclists, and in practice, this means a lot more than just being great at riding bikes. Our alumni include artists, musicians, mechanics, activists, business owners, filmmakers, community leaders, scientists, and countless other incredible, kind humans who found inspiration on the trails of Durango while out riding with their Devo friends.
