UPDATE: 2021 Practice and Race Guidelines
Please read NICA’s most recent newsletter if you haven’t already seen it. It contains a clear update of how practices and races will work this season compared to previous seasons…and it’s good news! Precautions will still be taken, but the downward trajectory of COVID cases in MN allows for us to safely return to a more traditional way of practicing and enjoying race weekend.
Last Chance: Order Team Gear
The final week to order team gear is here! There are some great new additions this year, including more traditional mountain bike style jerseys (more generously cut). Remember, a team jersey is required to race. Don’t miss out on your chance to order—visit the link below by Friday, July 2 at midnight!

Ready to Practice?
Our first practice of the season is coming right up on Tuesday, July 6 at 6 PM at Otter Lake Elementary. Are you ready to practice?
Check Pit Zone to see if you are “Practice Ready.” This means you are fully registered.
How’s your bike? This is a good time to do any necessary tune ups, add a water bottle cage, etc. If you need help, or have questions, contact a coach.
How’s your gear? The beginning of the season is HOT. Wear something that dries quickly and wicks sweat away from your body, and make sure you have water bottles, helmets, etc., ready to roll before our first practice.
