Team Principles
Leveled Rides
No matter how fast you ride, you will always have someone with you on the trail.
Foster a Life-Long Love
Cycling is a sport that can last a lifetime (look at the coaches!)
Friendly & Polite
Learning trail etiquette is as important as learning how to ride.
Best Effort
Whether at a race or practice, we always do our best.
Trained Coaches
You will receive coaching at every practice and they be there for you at every race.
Challenging & Fun
We will strive to create a fun environment where riders are able to challenge themselves, have fun, and learn to be better rider.
Necessary Equipment
Your rider will need the following. If you do not have these items, discounts are available at Guthrie Cycles as well as through NICA. Contact us if you have any questions.
Mandatory
- Mountain bike with at least five gears (no single speed allowed)
- Safety Equipment (appropriately fitted helmet, eye protection, gloves, closed-toed shoes)
- Bike maintenance supplies (tube, handpump/CO2 cartridge, multi-tool, patch kit, tire levers)
- Two water bottles or a water hydration pack
- Team jersey for races for high school riders
Nice to Have
- Biking- jersey (for Devo riders)
- Biking-specific shorts
- Backpack
- Cold weather biking gear (arm warmers, leg warmers, wind-proof jacket)
- Tubeless tires
Only 25% of the 3,500+ Utah youth riders are female. GRiT is a program developed by NICA to recruit and retain more girls and female coaches. We organize girls-only rides to build camaraderie among our female athletes.
Mountain biking is an excellent way for riders to challenge themselves and every rider grows as an athlete and individual in this process.
Please contact us if you would like to become a GRiT mentor on our team. Watch the video below:
How you can support your racer
Parent Volunteers
Our teams are volunteer-led and run. Therefore, we require all parents, with few exceptions, to volunteer towards the success of our teams. This may involve riding with the team as a parent volunteer or ride leader, volunteering for NICA during races, assisting with team organization, or maintaining food and equipment in the Pit zone during races.
Trail Work
Community Service
We recognize that our practices and races make a huge impact on the Utah trail systems – we want this to be a positive impact. Every year, each of our student-athletes will be expected to complete a minimum of 3 hours of volunteer work to improve our trails. Team-organized volunteer days will be scheduled throughout the season.
