After weeks of cloud-filled skies the sun burst through to shine on the first ever Sierra Nevada High School Race Series event. The crisp morning air was filled with the sounds of excited racers and supporters preparing for the first race of the season. With hosting assistance from TBF the Sierra Nevada High School Cycling Organization enjoyed a spectacular and very well-attended race.

The well-organized event was held on a short track course at the Granite Bay California State Recreation Area and included free food and swag bags for the racers, music, vendors and lots of cheering fans. All the races went smoothly (relative term in a mountain bike race, after all) with the only notable occurrence was when one racer pushed themselves too hard and had to receive a bit of support from the rapidly responding medical staff. The rest of the excitement remained for the fast-paced efforts of young riders giving the crowd their all and working their hearts out for the team.

Although the event lasted well over 7 hours it was all over too soon leaving everyone eagerly anticipating the next event: The Granite Bay Epic Cross Country held on February 5, 2011 in Granite Bay, CA. Hopefully, clear skies will once again prevail.
