You could win the perfect XC mountain bike in our Trek Fundraiser! Just hit the link in our bio, buy some raffle tickets, and select the prize you want to win. You can enter to win a Trek Supercaliber, a rad Bontrager helmet, some lights, or VIP Parking Passes to NorCal events. Your raffle purchase supports a NorCal League team of your choice, and funds are split 50/50 between the team and the league. We'll be giving away swag to random raffle participants, and the first 15 coaches or student-athletes attributed with $500 in raffle sales will earn a spot at a skills clinic with Brian Astell on January 25th (location TBD).

Our Race Flyers are live with the correct dates. All 2025 Race Flyers are now available on our website. We've streamlined the flyers this year by removing repeated information to make them cleaner and easier to read. For example, last year’s Exchequer flyer repeated reminders like “don’t forget to sign your waiver” and “bring $10 cash for park entry” multiple times. This year, all key details are included once, so please review the flyers thoroughly to ensure you don’t miss anything. Go to Programs>Racing on our website to find the flyers.

We love catching up with NorCal League alumni, and were stoked to hear back from Maddie Ortenblad, @badboimaddog, when we reached out for a quick update on the rad things she's been up to.Maddie works for Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship, a nonprofit dedicated to building and maintaining trails in the Santa Cruz Mountains. As the Development Manager, she focuses on fundraising to make new trails a reality and ensure our outdoor spaces are accessible to everyone. Outside of work, she helps coach the local high school mountain bike team, sharing her love of the sport with the next generation. She also still races her bike for fun—it’s a passion that started with NorCal and has stayed with her ever since!📸: @xtine.lotus ... See MoreSee Less

Giving Tuesday is here, and we're asking for your help raising $40,000 to get #morekidsonbikes in 2025. Your donation supports the NorCal League Race Crew, helps us upgrade equipment to make our events more rad, contributes to our prizes for the Teen Trail Corps, and more. We asked some coaches how their team used funds from last year, and they were able to do some awesome things! At Contra Costa Composite (CCC), they ordered Timber Bells for all of its riders and put their team logo on the bells, which are to be distributed to all of their riders this year. The team Board wanted to employ some of their funds to give something to all of their participating riders. Timber gives a NICA discount which they were able to take advantage of.From head coach Andrew Bodisco, "CCC MTB uses the trails in the Walnut Creek area extensively. Our team tries to teach our riders to be good stewards of the trails and to respect the other users of our trail network. We therefore felt that the bells not only reinforce this message, but are also a pretty cool gift that the kids will enjoy." Hit the link in bio to donate for a chance to win some rad prizes! ...
