Once the team store has closed, Hyperthreads will start processing the order. You will be notified via the email you placed the order with. The date of when you will actually get your order depends on if you wanted your order shipped or to be picked up locally. 

The team T-shirt is usually handed out on the day the student-athletes get their number plates at practice. 

Additional T-shirts, hats, socks and other apparel can be ordered thru Hyperthreads till the team store closes.

• Number plates allow race organizers to easily identify student-athletes, record their race times, and keep track of their position in the race.  

• They are designed to be visible from a distance, often placed on the front of the bike where they are easily seen by race officials and other student-athletes. 

• Plates will be given to the student-athletes at a designated practice before the first race. They will be given three (3) plates. If the rider is not present at practice the plates will be available at the race. Please find your coach or see the PitZone manager for help. One goes on the front of the bike, one pinned to the student-athletes back and the third is a pre-ride plate. In order to participate in the pre ride, the pre ride plate must be affixed to the front of the bike.

New plates can be printed up at the race and will cost $10. There is a NICA help desk where these will be printed. If you know your plate is missing, please get the replacement ASAP. 

• Pre ride is the day before the race and usually is available starting in the evening. 

• There will be specific times for each pre ride depending upon the venue. 

• Student-athletes will need to have their bike, helmet and pre ride plate affixed to the front of their bike. 

• Only student-athletes and coaches are allowed to participate in the pre ride. 

• No one without a plate will be allowed to ride.

The races are open to anyone and everyone who wants to attend. The terrain is rough, not paved and usually in fields. People with mobility issues may need assistance getting to the PitZone and around the race venue.

• Teams are assigned a designated Pit Zone area at race venues, which provides access to essential amenities.

• The Pit Zone acts as a central hub for teams to organize, store equipment, and meet before and after races.

• Our PitZone includes but is not limited to: Covered seating areas, water/drink station, team maintenance zone, stationary bike trainers for warm up, bike racks, cubbies to store personal items, cornhole game, and food, lot and lots of food.  

Each family will be assigned to assist with a race. Those that sign up to bring prepared food will be given the food the Thursday before the race along with containers for the food. If you are unable to pick up the food, please contact Shauna Guthrie, the PitZone Manager, at (801) 309-1319 to schedule a time.

Junior Devo races first thing in the morning but there will be a detailed schedule that will come out before each race with time listed. There will also be a copy of the time schedule on the door of the equipment trailer.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided for each person attending, so long as the numbers are updated on the attendance survey at least a week before each race. There will be a menu set out for each race so families can plan accordingly. Remember we are all volunteers and will do our best with food allergies but there is always a chance for cross contamination. If in doubt, bring food specifically for the person with allergies. A survey will be sent out once registration is completely over, in June, for food allergies so we can get a count for the season.

• Fruit snacks

The EXPECTATION is that EVERY parent/guardian will volunteer for the League at least ONCE per student per season.

Once registration is completed go to https://www.utahmtb.org/volunteer, click on the race you want to want to volunteer for in Region 1 and the list of available slots will display.  Some of these volunteer spots are paid and they go very quickly.

**Make sure you verify when your student athlete races so you don’t overlap watching the race and volunteering**

To check in, go to the NICA tent about 5-10 minutes before your volunteer time to get to your assigned area on time. Most volunteer spots are for two (2) hours.

•  Rover – Must be a level 2 coach to volunteer

• Merchandise sales – There is a NICA tent with swag that volunteers assist NICA employees selling.

• Crossing guard – NICA team will give you a vest and location to patrol.

• Staging – You will assist NICA team on getting the student-athletes in the correct racing order.

• Parking – Work with the NICA team on getting everyone parked.

• There are a bunch more opportunities to sign up for. 

No. They are only required to wear the team jersey when they race.  After the race is over there is one changing tent in the PitZone that can be utilized.

Races are not made up due to weather. Racing fees are not refunded due to weather.

There are 15 teams in our region: Bonneville, Box Elder, Davis, Fremont, Green Canyon, Logan High, Mountain Crest, Ogden, Park City, Ridgeline, Roy High, Sky View, St. Joseph Catholic HS, Weber, West Field High.

We are Region 1.

There are no more then 100 student-athletes allowed to race at one time. If there are more than 100 there will be different heats to accommodate all the student-athletes.

Student-athletes must adhere to the following guidelines when lining up at the start line for the start of a race:

• Student-athletes must not stage or loiter around the start line until 20 minutes before their start time. Student-athletes who line up at or near the staging area too early may be required to return to their team’s pit area (or a time penalty of 1 minute may be applied).

• Student-athletes must stand in their staging order at their pre-assigned gate with their category and placement from the previous race written on their hand or arm.

• When entering the staging area, student-athletes must position themselves in designated start lanes without overlapping the wheels of the rider in front of them.

• Student-athletes must wait at the designated entrance for their category in an orderly fashion. Upon being called into the staging area by a race official, student-athletes may enter the staging area while walking their bikes. Student-athletes staging incorrectly or cutting into the side or front of the group will be required to start in the last row.

Only student-athletes are allowed in the staging area. All parents, coaches and spectators are to remain clear of the staging area.

• Student-athlete misses their call-up, their place will not be held. They will be allowed to stage upon arrival at the staging gate.

• Following the named call ups, student-athletes will be called into the staging area one at a time based on results from the most recent race each student-athlete was invited to attend. Student-athletes who do not know their staging order will be staged at the end of their category.

They sell hats, t-shirts, hoodies, sweat shirts, socks, stickers, noise makers and so much more. They take cash and Venmo. 

A word of advice, if you see something you want to get, don't wait because it may not be there the next race.

Rover are on the trail at all times. There are usually between eight (8) - ten (10) rovers riding the trail. 

All rovers have: 

• A radio 

• A basic first aid kit. 

• Are a level two (2) coach license with basic first aid and CPR. 

They can assist with a disable bike at the student-athletes request but they will receive a time penalty. Rovers can give suggestions and point without a time penalty. 

•  In the case of a broken bicycle, a dropped chain or other mishap, student-athletes must clear the way and not block the trail for other student-athletes.

• Student-athletes must complete the entire race on the same bicycle upon which the race was begun. A 10-minute penalty applies for switching bicycles in a race.

• Student-athletes must complete the entire race on the same set of wheels upon which the race was begun. A 10-minute penalty applies for switching a wheel (defined as a pre-assembled wheel with a hub, rim and spokes) in a race.

There is also neutral support for flat tire repair, chain repair, other minor repairs (loose bolts, brake problems, and other minor adjustments.) They are located near the racecourse.

The rovers will assess the situation and depending on how hurt the student-athlete is, will have a side by side come and get them and their bike or call in the ambulance and EMT that are always on site.

That is up to the spectators. It is always awesome to see the student-athletes start off the race. Once the student-athletes have cleared the Start Arch many spectators take off to different areas on the racecourse where they can see their student-athlete ride by. When your student-athlete is getting close to finishing the race, the best thing to do is head to the finish line and video them coming across!

They head to the Coach Zone where they are given water or Gatorade, monitored till their breathing returns to normal and they feel fine. Only registered coaches are allowed in the Coach Zone but parents can be outside talking to their student-athlete and beaming over how awesome they did. This usually only takes 5-10 minutes. 

Coaches need to verify that the student-athletes are ok, not sick, their breathing and heart rate returns to normal. 

You don’t need to stay for the whole race, but we ask that you stay for your group’s podiums where we can cheer on our teammates. Since breakfast and lunch will be provided it is less stressful to stay for most of the races that are further away.

To get milage reimbursement:

Fill up your tank, drive to the race and when you fill up after dropping off the trailer submit the receipt to Reimbursments@webermtb.org.

Time trails will take place as soon as the team is allowed by insurance to practice. Time trials are used to sort student athletes into ride groups where they will practice with other student athletes at their similar skill level.  If your student athlete is not able to make the time trials, they can use Strava to record their time on the selected trail and submit their time to the coaching staff.

Student athletes will be assigned to a "mini team" called a ride group where they will ride during practice with other student athletes with similar skills and abilities.  Each ride group will have at least (2) two coaches. There will be 8 (eight) student athletes to 2 (two) coaches, one of which will be a level 2 (two) or 3 (three) coach.  Each ride group has a coach as Lead and a coach as Sweep. The lead will set the pace for the ride group and the sweep will be in the last position making sure no one gets lost or left behind.  Coaches periodically perform a count of riders in their ride groups for added security.  Level 2 (two) and 3 (three) coaches have additional medical & CPR training if emergencies arise. 

If the student athlete needs to be moved up or down a ride group, the ride coaches and the head and practice coach will make that decision together. 

We have an AMAZING team photographer that takes  pictures of our amazing student-athletes while they are on the race course. These photos are available once they are uploaded to Stack Team App. There will be a notification sent out when they are ready to view.

Yes! Sometime during our season a photographer is scheduled to take team pictures.  Student-athletes will wear their jersey and the team captains will figure out what bottoms the team will be wearing. Usually dark pants, or shorts. 

We have a team banquet to celebrate our successes and friendships made throughout the season.  This is usually held at the end of October/first of November at Weber High.

Donation are not required but if Grandma and Grandpa or anyone accompanying your family to the races want to contribute we are more then happy to receive the money. Below is our Venmo link.
