According to our Coach Mike, velonews doesn’t even cover mountain biking. Yet, hot off the presses, they have published an insightful article that invites you into the thinking of NICA, established leagues, and, most importantly, student athletes.
Article teasers: North Carolina’s League Director, Mike Long, “NICA is supposed to be epic in personal achievement.” Remarkably, he notes, “By the end of the season, three kids who had never owned a bicycle or raced prior to the league’s inception wound up on the podium.” And, a compliment to Williamsburg and the Virginia League, “NICA launches new leagues in places where community support is high, passions run deep, and commitment is paramount.”

Autumn, James, Caleb, and Jewel (from our development team) are heading to Snowshoe, West Virginia for the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships. Our best wishes for safe, fast, and fun racing go with you! The whole local cycling community is cheering you up those hills, over those rocks, and under the banner of the finish line.
Coach Rick is shouting with the sentiment of all the student-athletes and their families: I also would like to give a shout out to our new coach Irene and her husband Jack. They do not have any kids of their own in the league or on the team . We really appreciate their time and efforts going forward.
