Race Series
One of the great things about a NICA League, which separates us from other youth cycling development programs, is we produce our own youth-specific events. This means we pick out race venues and work directly with landowners and managers to produce the highest quality youth development race courses and events. The kids get a stage of their own, away from adult competitions and we strive for safety and fun above all other factors.
We are so excited to be partnering with these various landowners and managers at all of these venues represent some of the best riding, camping, and beauty Southern Nevada is known for. Additionally, all of these venues have made a significant commitment to the sport of mountain biking as they all have invested in a purpose-built trail system specifically engineered to accommodate beginner to advanced riders.
