As a former track and cross-country runner I was just wondering if I would have joined a cycling team in high school had it been offered (my conclusion was probably not – cycling wasn’t even on my radar as a sport). It looks like some of the kids in my neck of the woods our getting some pretty serious exposure to Mountain Bike Racing.
The West’s first dedicated USA Cycling mountain bike racing series for school-age kids, the Sierra Nevada High School Racing Series, debuts in just two weeks time at Granite Bay, California. The new series will kick off its first season with an ice-breaker short track cross country race on National Short Track Course in the Granite Bay Recreation Area.
