HS MTB practice and race #1 Schedule 2,4,6 September

Student athletes and parents,

Two great practices this week.  We have a brief 2 week window between summer vacation and the first race.  Many of you this summer were training with other mountain bike teams, traveling out of town on vacation, and participating in other events.  It is great to see all of you at practice this past Tuesday and Thursday with over 16 students participating in each practice.  

This week we will have practice on Tuesday and Thursday at the same Red Butte location.  Tuesday will be another cardio workout and Thursday will deal with an intermediate cardio output ride, discussion of racing strategy, and a review of bike maintenance that will ensure a great race for you on 6 September.

Many of you have questions regarding the race.  Please check the Utah League web page which will hopefully answer many of them.

Note:  All of our students are Division 2


By now you all should have logged in to the Pit Zone to confirm that your student athlete is "Race Ready".  If he/she is not and you need to fill out forms required to race please bring them to the race registration tent on 6 September.

Adults:  We need volunteers to help bring food to the event.  You will be reimbursed for expenditures.  If interested in helping out please reply to me so we can coordinate.

Regards 
Drew
