Are there any NICA leagues by you? School level MTB race leagues
The race was in Allegany State Park, New York State. It is called Raccoon Rally & this was the 30th year.
No, unfortunately there are no associations or leagues around me. We are literally in the middle of nowhere. I consider myself lucky to have a respectable LBS. The LBS puts on weekly road & MTB rides, but they are a little too intense for a kid who just turned 11 last week.
He doesn't know, but spending Father's day this way was the best gift he could have given me.

Yep, the trails are going to need a good amount of work after this race. The novice was the last race. By that point the trails had been turned to a slimy mess. My 29+ tires were pretty much useless. At least I had the foresight to swap out the tires on my son's bike to something more aggressive. I watched him power through the mud while it was taking everything I had to keep my bike upright.
