The NorCal High School Mountain Bike Racing League continues to expand and gain momentum. More than 25 teams and 350 riders will participate in the Spring 2007 season, and at a recent Leader's summit, 65 people attended to learn wilderness first aid, bike skills, and management of high school mountain bike teams.
The league is entirely self-funded with no support coming from the schools that struggle to fund more mainstream high school sports. To raise money, the league will host a dinner fundraiser with guest Tom Danielson (Team Discovery), winner of a stage in the 2006 Vuelta a España. They also screened the movie "Cobbles, Baby!" to earn US$16,000, some of which went to the Davis Phinney foundation.
