I was actually really looking forward to racing at this course after the pre ride. I thought the course was fun and suited my riding style well. So I was pretty excited, except for the fact that it was supposed to be pretty hot. Arriving to the course on race day though, I was surprisedContinue reading “Modesto Flow 4/9/2022 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman”

Fun at the Fort 3/20/2022 – Tobin Power
My goal heading into the race was to get 3rd place or stand proud on the soapbox. Unfortunately, I had missed the first race at Exchequer, so my front row call-up from finishing top 3 last season was ripped away from me. When I was lined up to start the race, there were probably sixContinue reading “Fun at the Fort 3/20/2022 – Tobin Power”
Fun at the Fort 3/20/2022 – Theo Borys
Exchequer had been my first real mountain bike race, and I had surprised myself by placing 5th. I went into Exchequer with no expectations, and it ended up going well. At Fort Ord, I now had a place to aim; 4th. Chris had gone up to varsity, leaving an opportunity to place higher. 4th placeContinue reading “Fun at the Fort 3/20/2022 – Theo Borys”
Fun at the Fort 3/20/2022 – Finn Kaste
After my success at Exchequer I was looking forward to finding what this race had in store. I was excited because Tristan had recovered and Chris had petitioned which meant there were two new varsity riders representing El Cerrito. Naturally, I had a twinge of apprehension but I felt confident that it would be aContinue reading “Fun at the Fort 3/20/2022 – Finn Kaste”
Fun at the Fort 3/20/2022 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman
I was not very optimistic when driving to the 2nd race at Fort Ord. I had missed the first race because I got a pretty bad cold that destroyed my throat and still felt the lasting effects 3 weeks later at race 2. On top of that, when I raced at CCCX at Fort Ord,Continue reading “Fun at the Fort 3/20/2022 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman”

Exchequer Opener 02/26/22 – Gabbie Walmsley
This was my first race ever. I was nervous, but also excited to see everyone and cheer people on. Despite leaving at 11:45am, there was a huge line to get in, and although we were no more than a half mile from the check-in, it took almost thirty minutes to check in. When we finallyContinue reading “Exchequer Opener 02/26/22 – Gabbie Walmsley”
Exchequer Opener 02/26/22 – Finn Kaste
When I first saw the 2022 NICA race schedule I saw the very first race happened to fall on my birthday. Because of this I was a little hesitant to register but I realized it had been almost two years since my last NICA race. My most valuable high school memories have been from theContinue reading “Exchequer Opener 02/26/22 – Finn Kaste”
