Counting It Down

Summer is winding down, team practices are finally spinning up and there are less than four weeks until the first race of the AICL 2020 season. The race series – in its shiny new individual time trial format – kicks off September 19-20 at the Arizona Nordic Village in Flagstaff. The race flyer is now available online. We'll see you soon!

Registration Update

By now you should have received an "invitation to register" via email from the Pit Zone (donotreply@nationalmtb.org). Click on the link to begin the registration process. Complete the rider profile, sign the electronic waivers and pay the league registration fee. If you have not received your Pit Zone invitation, check with your coach. Student-athletes must complete league registration before participating in team practices.

Attention Racers: Student-athletes who intend to race this season must purchase the Race Package (registration for all five races) by September 9. Putting on a socially distant time trial race will involve a lot of complicated calculations on our part. For this reason, a la carte individual race registration will not be available this season.

More information about the AICL participation fees and refund policy can be found on the league website.

Financial Assistance

The league is committed to helping ensure every student-athlete and coach has the opportunity to participate, regardless of financial situation. Through the generous support of Landis Cyclery, the Mountain Bike Association of Arizona and fundraising through the sweepstakes, we're able to provide support to help offset expenses directly related to participation in league activities. Visit the Financial Assistance page on our website for more information. Completed applications must be received by August 31.

Each team that participates will keep half of the money they raise, and will have full discretion on how to spend it on their team. The other half will stay with the league to improve the multiple programs, clinics and events that we host each year. The league will also set aside a portion of these funds to help families needing financial assistance to participate.
