As the season progress, the training gets harder and more focused on upcoming races. In the beginning of the season, we focus on skills and building an endurance base. Weekend rides are about 2 to 3 hours, plus some travel to the location. Towards the end of the season we can ride longer. During the winter, the rides are shorter. We do a time trial a couple of times a year to determine ride groups. We try to match our riders and coaches by speed. But this all depends on how many coaches we have during the season and on a particular day. This is a great way to learn some new trails. Some of our regular spots are: China Camp, Tamarancho, Mt Tam, Skeggs, Annadel, Crockett, Joaquin Miller and more. Where do we ride?ĭuring the week we ride in Tilden.

NICA coaches are role models and teachers who are open to learning the best practices of youth mountain bike coaching and actively work to hone their leadership skills on and off the bike. Without coaches, our team could not exist. ![]()
