National Interscholastic Cycling Association 805 Camelia Street Berkeley CA 94710 (510) 524-5464 www.nationalmtb.org Dear Rider, The NICA Invitational Camp is quickly approaching. We are very glad you will be coming, as it will be a week to remember. In order to be fully prepared for camp you should think about the following: 1. If you’ve been taking a break from riding since the State Champs, we recommend you start riding more before camp. Rest is important after a long race series, however everyone needs to be mentally and physically fit to train and race all week at camp. 2. Please make sure your bike is all tuned up, clean, and ready to ride when you get to camp. If something isn’t quite right, get it to your local bike shop now. 3. Top riders at the camp will earn the opportunity to represent NICA and join the Subaru-Trek Mountain Bike Team at Nationals in Ketchum, Idaho June 13-16th. Rider selections will be made Thursday, June 24th at camp and are based on cumulative times from the camps five timed events. Two or three riders from each category will be selected. More details on Nationals Trip will be announced at Camp. 4. Three to five of the following timed events will be included in the overall times used for Nationals team selection: ten minutes + hill climb, flat time trial, short hill climb, circuit time trial, tire change, and chain repair.

National Interscholastic Cycling Association 805 Camelia Street Berkeley CA 94710 (510) 524-5464 www.nationalmtb.org INVITATIONAL CAMP RULES General Rules: • Know the agenda, be where you are suppose to be when you are suppose to be there. • If you leave the goup at any time, tell a staff member first. • Say please and thank you. • Wear a helmet at all times.

I have read and understood the Camp Rules. Rider Name Date RIDE RULES 1. Never take risks. This is the number one rule, athletes that have a risk-taking attitude or are witnessed taking risks will not be tolerated. A risk is defined as willingly attempting anything which is beyond one’s ability to control in a safe manner. 2. Wear a helmet at all times. Under no circumstances should a student be on their bike with out a helmet fastened to their head. While other racers may be seen cruising around before and after races with out a helmet, BHS Team members will be suspended from racing with the team for violating this rule. 3. Always Yield. Even if at times it seems inconvenient. Being sensitive to how others perceive you will assure a positive image for your sport and minimize the restrictions that follow confrontations and negative encounters. Remember that bicycles in the backcountry can be an unwelcome experience for horses and hikers. 4. Pass with Care. Let others know of your presence well in advance. Use a chime or audible greeting to avoid startling others. Be especially careful when passing a horse, as each will react differently; stop and ask the rider for instructions. By asking if the horse is easily spooked, you show an awareness of the rider’s needs. Sometimes it may be necessary to dismount and remove your bike from the trail to allow others to pass. 5. Stay on Trails. Riding off-trail damages meadows and other fragile ecosystems. Never cut switchbacks as this accelerates erosion. Beware the types of soil you are riding on. Never ride on muddy trails and carry your bicycle around muddy spots. 6. Control your speed. Safe speeds are relative to terrain and your experience as a rider. Be able to stop safely without skidding in the distance that you can see ahead. Approach switchbacks and turns in anticipation of someone coming around the bend. 7. Respect Wildlife and live stock. Do not frighten animals. Close gates as you pass through, unless it appears obvious that they have been intentionally left open. 8. Ride predictably. Ride in a straight line, don't suddenly swerve and use hand signals to communicate your intentions or to point out obstacles. 9. No “Sharking.” Don’t ride in circles around the ride leaders. 10. Do Not Litter. Pack out what you pack in, and if possible, carry out more than you share. 11. Ride Only on Authorized Trails. Check with local authorities regarding open trails and conditions, and with landowners regarding private land access. Stay off trails that are closed to bicycles. 12. Plan Ahead. The off-road bicycle will open new horizons to you. Some of these should be approached with respect. If distances are involved, do not travel solo. Expect weather changes. Leave word where you plan to go and when you plan to return. 13. Minimize Impacts. The practice of minimum impact wilderness use is the philosophy of responsible offroad cyclists. Take only pictures.
