The MMTC apparel store is open for business! The still will remain open until March 23rd. That will provide enough manufacturing time to have them before Bear Tri in mid May. I will have try on kits available at the club meeting on Monday. Additionally, if you can't make the meeting reach out to me to make arrangements so that you can try some on. These are the same kits we ordered at the end of last season with a few additional options and those that made the fall order will tell you how awesomely comfortable they are! Any questions please ask. Tim (President)

GUEST SPEAKER: Jonathan Posner
Co-Founder and League Director
Maryland Interscholastic Cycling League
Catonsville, MD

Maryland Interscholastic Cycling League (MICL) was organized in 2017 and is a non-profit organization and a project league of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) committed to bringing experiential learning and character development programs to all Maryland students in grades 6-12.

Using bicycles as the primary tool, and working within the boundaries of NICA, MICL will produce safe, quality mountain bike events that focus on equality and inclusivity, and further the goals of developing strong body, strong mind, and strong character for participating student-athletes. MICL provides comprehensive training and certification for coaches, volunteers, and league officials, as well as structure and resources for teams to practice and ride together, and will produce a Fall series of competitive and non-competitive events in which all MD students may participate. MICL is a 100% volunteer organization that relies on support and participation from the community to operate.

MICL provides the framework, insurance, risk management training, and oversight for teams to form and practice as a Fall interscholastic sport. Teams are encouraged to practice and ride regularly during the season, which runs from July through August. An emphasis is placed on coaches teaching fundamental safe riding skills and accompanying habits such as healthy food choices, good sleep habits, goal setting, and cooperative team dynamics. All the while coaches and mentors maintain a student-first approach to academics. The capstone in the Fall season is a series of four races at venues spread across the state, each showcasing a unique part of Maryland's geography and topography. There is programming all weekend including optional camping for a true community atmosphere and camaraderie.. Parents are encouraged to ride with their student-athletes in practices and when pre-riding race courses, something unique to MICL programs and not found in traditional youth sports. MICL's number one priority is safety & risk management, and to that end we provide comprehensive risk management training for coaches and volunteers.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON MONDAY!
