Last thing, most of our racers have ridden Granite Bay either with the team and/or TBF races. The course is usually similar to TBF. We are torn if we should have a pre-ride Friday or not with all the other events happening that weekend in Grass Valley... does your rider want a pre-ride Friday afternoon/evening?? Please fill out this google sheet for your response! https://forms.gle/hzToUY6ZcCSNRkex7
NICA Race #2 - Exchequer
Registration is closed as of April 1st.
The link to the league flyer is here.
Event address: 3100 Barrett Cove Rd, La Grange, CA 95329 **cell reception is spotty due to the high volume of people at NICA events**
Camping is the only option for this event, as there is no option for a close hotel (at least 45 minutes away). We should have plenty of space between team spots and other families. The team spots are Barrett Cove M64-68 & 70 for both Friday and Saturday nights.
You will need a waiver for this event. Between Ty and I a lot of you have signed them, but if you haven't, please find the waivers with one of us or print one out and give it to us. We like to turn them all in at one time to the league.
VOLUNTEER sign ups!!!
Team sign up: Miners MTB: NICA Race 2/Exchequer XC (signupgenius.com)
League sign up:
https://norcalinterscholasticcyclingleague.duplie.com/forms/10710/register?clearForm=Y
Our weekend schedule is as follows:
Friday 4/5: Pre-ride for HS & JD at 3:30pm & 4:30pm... leaving from team pit! Team pit is NOT in the campsites. Your athlete can choose which time they'd like and/or do both!
Saturday 4/6: RACE DAY!!!! https://indd.adobe.com/view/7c68d8c1-8814-460d-9777-b8caf47ce99a
Pre-ride option available at 7am from team pit!
7:45am- we expect all athletes to be in the team pit to see our Varsity riders off at the start line!!
We realize this is a VERY LONG DAY, but we expect all athletes to hang out and cheer on their fellow teammates in the pit, before, during and after their own races.
Like I stated in my previous Exchequer email, we are unhappy that the league has decided to split HS and JD awards... we have spoken to the league about this, and their response to us was, "actions speak louder than words". We would like to show that we are a team, and we support our JD riders. We would like to boycott the HS podiums and attend the JD races during that time. We realize this may mean some of our athletes miss their podium moments, but we ask that you take this opportunity to show the league that you value our JD athletes time on the course, and we are one big Miners family. Please talk this over as a family and if you do not agree with this, talk to Ty, me, Ray, or Dan before Exchequer.
5:30(ish)pm- JD awards - ALL ATHLETES ATTEND!!
Sunday 4/7: Trail workday. This is through the league. (not required but encouraged, as Exchequer is an awesome venue!)
