PRACTICE: Sunfish Lake Mountain Bike Park
Lot Parents: Enz and Nicklason Families. Thank you!
Team Jersey: Last chance to ORDER BY SUNDAY, JULY 16
Get your team jerseys, along with other athletic wear. The jerseys are the same as last year, so if you still have one that fits, no need to order one. But do go check out the store, because there’s more than just jerseys—shorts, sweatshirts, etc. A new tech crew shirt, long sleeve jersey and black tee have been added.
Remember that the zip up jerseys tend to run a bit small, so we recommend ordering a size or two above what your athlete typically wears. The short sleeve mountain bike jersey is a looser fit this year.
Everything will be shipped to the team at once, and distributed by coaches as soon as we receive the full order. The final order generally arrives about one month after the store closes.
Upcoming Deadline:
AUGUST 1: DEADLINE to register for all races on CCN.

2023 Race Weekend Schedule
The official race weekend schedule has been published! Some things to note:
White Bear Lake is a D1 Team. That means we’re designated as Division One, so when you see two races for the same age/skill group, our time is the (D1) time.
This schedule is for all regular season races. For those who qualify to participate in State Finals at Mankato, the schedule will be different, and usually doesn’t come out until much closer to the State Finals.
WHITE BEAR LAKE RACES, 2023
August 26-27: Schindler’s Way, Austin (regular season)
September 16-17: Xcel Energy Mountain Bike Park, Shakopee (regular season)
September 23-24: Theo Wirth Regional Park, Minneapolis (regular season)
September 30-October 1: Gamehaven Scout Camp, Rochester (regular season)
October 14-15: Mt. Kato Ski Resort, Mankato (State Championship, qualification required)
