JUNIOR GEAR REQUIREMENTS

Please note that ALL competitors in our league are required to adhere to Junior Gearing Restrictions. In a nutshell, measure out 26' on the ground; put the bike in its hardest gear; spin the crank so the arms are vertical; walk the bike backwards.... the crank arm should NOT rotate more than one complete revolution (i.e. one complete pedal revolution should not push the bike further than 26').

The best gear combinations to use are 52 chain ring/14 smallest cassette cog, or 45 chain ring/12 smallest cassette cog.

Others can work but are smaller gears (spin out more quickly).

If the bike doesn't pass, you may also block out gears with the limit screw on the rear derailleur such that the rider doesn't have access to a gear that is too big.

Please send me an email about this if you have questions.

2014 NERCL TEAM REGISTRATION

To help defray the cost of race timing, the fee structure has changed this year. The new cost is $150 per school, PLUS $10 per athlete participating in the League. Thus, for a team with 10 athletes, the registration fee will be $250 for the 2014 season.

THE LINK IS NOW ACTIVE!

The 2014 league registration page is on bikereg.com. Team head coaches should click the following link to register their team and pay their league dues for the season:






The league dues satisfy the costs of the awards trophies as well as the timing services of Pioneer Event Services for all races.


***PLEASE NOTE, ONLY SCHOOL TEAMS MAY REGISTER, NOT INDIVIDUAL RIDERS***

The NERCL is open to school team registrants only, meaning all riders must take part under a school racing team competing under the guidance of an adult coach (who can be a parent of a rider). Any secondary school, whether public or private, is welcome to register for league competition by using this page. The head coach of the team (or parent) should enter his or her contact information as part of the registration process.


PLEASE NOTE THAT LEAGUE DUES MUST BE PAID BEFORE A TEAM WILL BE ALLOWED TO RACE (this is to prevent racers from showing up without coaches and racing without supervision)

Another race canceled :(

Hi all:




It was a great disappointment to have our 2nd race of the series canceled due to yet more awful weather. Let's hope for some sun for the rest of the series.



One quick note. With both canceled races, there were teams well on the road when the cancelation was announced. This makes it difficult to receive an email notification. For this reason, I think it would be a good idea for the host school to call each head coach at the numbers listed for each team on the league website (right hand side of home page). It would not take much work to call each of the head coaches and I believe it would save a lot of wasted driving time.



BTW, I have updated all phone numbers based on each team's registration information, using the number for the main registered party, which should be the head coach of the team. Please take a moment to review the phone numbers to make sure they are accurate and kindly get back to me if any changes are needed.



Thanks and we're looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday at Killington!
