| Fast rolling trails. |
The first NICA NorCal MTB League race was held near Monterey, California at East Garrison in Fort Ord. The course was rolling with short punchy climbs, breaking bump filled descents, sandy corners, and lots of poison oak.
This was my first race competing at the Varsity level and the competition was extremely strong, including some of the top junior racers in the nation. Even though I was staged in 19th place I was able to pick through the pack and hang on to a few fast racers over the five brutal laps and finished 6th place in the very fast paced 25 mile race.
As a whole the team I race for, the Nevada Union Miners did very well with several athletes on the podium and placed 5th in NorCal D1 as a team.

| A bunch of rad savages. |
It's awesome to race with such a large team of student athletes with a passion for mountain biking, and the raddest coaches around! The Nevada Union Miners should be a very strong team this season. Looking forward to the next NorCal race in two weeks in Granite Bay, California.
