Registration is NOW open!!  Cheesy Cheesy   

Please help us keep our local kids OFF the couch and active by spreading the word about the super fun Charlotte Youth Cycling League. 

CYCL t-shirts to those who register for all four races.   

New this year, we are holding one hour skills clinics and race training sessions before each event from 9:30am to 10:30am.  This is free to all kids.

Ok folks the 2014 CYCL series kicks off this Sunday at North Meck.
We need a couple of things.

First, we need kids. 
We are still working to get the word out and we want to see as many kids as possible out there on the trail. It would be super helpful if everyone could post about the series this week on your blogs or on Facebook.

Second, volunteers.
I was unable to attend last weeks meeting but we need folks to commit to being rolling course marshalls during the race, a few hands to help with the pre-race skills clinic and as always set -up and tear down.

If you can help and plan to be there please let me know.

Mike, I have the trail cleared at the creek for the little kids race Sunday like we discussed. Just move the log and you're ready. If I don't go skiing this weekend, I'll be there. The rest of the trail is drying and I hope the rain tomorrow don't mess things up for your race and the Diva skills clinic Saturday.
Mike

There appears to be rain in the forecast for Sunday.  When will a call be made to cancel the race?  Thanks

Day of the race.
Historically speaking, we haven't canceled a race for rain before but it depends on conditions.

We never postpone races based on the forecast, unless we have a hurricane barreling down on the event.  Made the mistake of postponing an event due to Mr Weatherman one time and it completely backfired. Called for a 100% chance of rain and it ended up being sunny.  Several years ago, we held the Rivers Edge in beautiful weather, sun out and there was a hurricane 50 miles to the east. 

The latest detailed forecast I saw says rain coming in midday.   Shocked

Weather update from Neal:

Hey folks....just wanted to give everyone an update on the kick off of the 2014 CYCL. As you know, they are calling for rain tomorrow. Before you travel, you can either check the CYCL website or Facebook page for the updated status of the race. I've seen several different predictions when the rain is supposed to arrive. If the rain is substantial and arrives before the first race, we will postpone the event to March 23. If it doesn't come in until later, we are racing.

As always, thank you.
Every year we have a bunch of Trailblazers show up and help with the kids series in a variety of ways. This year was no exception. These events would not be possible without the support of the club. Through this series we help grow the love of mountain biking and an appreciation of physical fun in the outdoors. All of us helping grow the next few generations of mountain bikers.

We finally got the nice weather we were looking for too.
