Please welcome aboard Rob and Norris.  Both will be coaching this fall and are truly devoted to seeing high schoolers fall in love with the sport of mountain biking.

Lots of positive feedback from tonight's meeting. A big thanks to Sully and the Southern Nevada Mountain Bike Assoc. for allowing me to speak. It looks like a go for two teams this fall! Anyone else want to start a team? ;)

Southern Nevada Mountain Bike Association meeting tomorrow: Come on out to REI Henderson at 7 p.m. Learn more about where this program is going and what our local IMBA Chapter is doing too. Both programs are in need of involvement and we all know how we feel about mountain bikes!

Day one of the NICA Leaders' Summit, I drank from the fire hose of knowledge.  The classes I attended where those little details you can't imagine or predict from just intellect...it takes experience and I'm grateful that these folks are sharing what has worked or failed.  Let us not recreate the wheel.
Classes attended included:  Engaging & Coaching Adolescents, Concussions (yep, head injuries), Bike Fitting (wow I had no idea), and Creating Holistic Training Programs.
My brain is on overload...tomorrow Ride Skills Clinic!!!

Bags are packed and a mountain bike too.  It is off to the NICA Leaders Summit in Park City, UT.  I'll be coming back with a head full of ideas.  Get ready Nevada, High School Mountain Bike Racing is coming soon!

Come out the the Southern Nevada Mountain Bike Association meeting at REI Henderson 7 pm on May 9th.  I'll be giving a short presentation on what to expect this fall for High School Mountain Biking.  There will be time for some Q&A also.  Also there will be a race in August that will be free to all high schoolers wishing to participate in mountain bike racing.  I like free stuff!

Just got home from the SoCal MTB Race.  The racers were fast, the vibe was incredible and the weather didn't stop these animals!  Swing by the Facebook page and check out the pics and a video too.
