Race Timeline

A race weekend can be stressful for riders and their traveling support crew, so advance preparation is key. Keep travel gear organized, review the pre-race checklist, and establish a travel routine.

If a rider cannot attend a race due to illness or another unexpected event, please contact a coach as soon as possible.

Below is a sample weekend schedule for Sunday races. If the race is on a Saturday, it's helpful to complete all packing and preparation on Thursday night, as riders usually receive clearance from the high school to leave campus at noon. Please note: The times listed are approximate, and current race events will be posted by NICA with each corresponding race flyer.
