The first PICL race of the season at a favorite course for the team. This is a state-wide event where GVMTB will race against all teams within the state, so the event will be broken into two days: 1 for Middle school and 1 for high school riders. See the official PICL event page below for full event details

GVMTB Specific Event Information

You definitely want to pre-ride the course so you are not surprised by what you encounter. Pre-riding is a critical aspect of racing and planning your strategy for the day.

Coaches will communicate about exact pre-ride roll out times the day of the race. Coaches should be available to give all riders a pre-ride but we try to ride as a group. Be sure to let us know when you are arriving!

Since this race is farther away and a lot of the team will be staying at local lodging, the team will be planning some post-race dining events within Williamsport. Please check the TeamSnap Team chat for details or to make suggestions.

It’s a long drive, so we recommend securing lodging for at least the night before your race to ensure your rider is well rested, fed, and gets the opportunity to pre-ride the race course. See the PICL event page for their recommendations on lodging or reach out on TeamSnap to see where others from GVMTB are staying. You are welcome to stay wherever you please, but here are some suitable options used by the team in the past:
