NorCal High School Race #1 in East Garrison

On February 23rd the first NorCal National Interscholastic Cycling Association(NICA) race was held at East Garrison, California near Monterey and the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

The race course consisted of fast sandy singletrack and some fire road.  This was my first NorCal race as last year an injury kept me out of the high school series.  Despite being placed in the very back for the start I managed to pass the fifty some riders and pull away the first lap to come away with the win in the Sophomore Northern Division D1.

Thanks to all the volunteers, racers, coaches, and parents who give NorCal races their own special feel and atmosphere!  The first race was a great time.
