NorCal High School Mountain Bike Racing League Teams Up with the SF Bicycle Expo & Swap. They will be putting their booth and sending their message. We are excited to support and have them at the Expo & Swap.

Their Mission Statement is as follows:

The NorCal High School Mountain Bike League works to establish and maintain safe, quality high school mountain bike programs. The League is responsible for establishing a climate that will:

• Provide students who have the desire to mountain bike with the coaching and camaraderie that will help them achieve both competitive and non-competitive cross-country mountain biking goals in a safe and enjoyable manner;

• Develop an awareness of what it is to be an amateur athlete that is both gracious and respectful to their community;

We are excited to see and support them at the Bicycle Expo and Swap!

• Create an environment in which they may discover new friendships and find role models;

• Guide students towards learning new skills and disciplines, and spread the foundations of mountain bike racing across the U.S.;

• Foster a responsible attitude toward the use of trails and wilderness;

• Promote the value of cycling to our community as a mode of transportation and as a life long sport.
