906 Adventure team, as well as the events Marji Gesick, Crusher, and Polar Roll, all help feed and grow the cycling community in Marquette County, and help spread the message of building resilient youth doing hard yet fun things. The organization has created a positive influence on many people, both locally and all over the country. They did it all with the belief that traditional sports were taking away kids’ ability to be involved in teams where they could participate and grow and challenge themselves and not have to ride a bench because they were not as advanced as some other kids. And in this day and age, especially post-Covid, this message and mission the 906 Adventure team has been on are getting kids back outside, getting their families out riding, and volunteering to help build the program from a tiny location in Marquette, Michigan to almost a dozen locations in several states and growing.
