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”

Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Odin Simms

After having missed two days of school and Friday’s practice because I was sick, I went into the race less confident than the practice races. After the pre ride, I was exhausted, further worsening my confidence. My goal for the race was to have a good start and clip into my pedals. On the dayContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Odin Simms”

Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Tobin Power

I was excited for my first MTB race ever. We pulled up to the event, and it was like all my tiredness from waking up at 5 am went away. There were tents everywhere with music playing, hundreds of people on bikes, and the cold wind blowing on me. I had put my bike inContinue reading “Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Tobin Power”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Felix Bloemraad

We arrived to the race in freezing temperatures.

My bike was on a different car, which hadn’t arrived yet, so IContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Felix Bloemraad”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Violet Reed

I slept most of the way to Fort Ord so when we got to the race parking I was still half asleep. It was about 38 degrees if I remember correctly, so it was really cold. I warmed up for about 20 minutes before the race and then pulled up to the starting line. IContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Violet Reed”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman

I was very anxious and intimidated by the CCCX race. It was my first race and I was not feeling prepared to race against such fast people. I began to feel better after warming up, but the thought never left my mind. Am I good enough? After we all lined up at the start, eachContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman”
