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)


2014 Season Coaches' email list

PLEASE NOTE: After April 5, 2014, ONLY teams that have registered for the league will be included on the league email list. To be included in league emails, you must register for the league on bikereg (see link above).

ALSO NOTE: THE TIME TO UPDATE COACHES EMAILS IS WHEN YOU REGISTER.

Proctor circuit race canceled

Sorry all. With great regret, the Proctor coaches have no choice but to cancel their race due to rain. Julie Tallman will be sending out trophies to the respective head coaches.




Thanks everyone for a great season nevertheless. You all do a wonderful job of introducing this sport to so many kids and you do more than you could know to create life-long healthy biking enthusiasts.



Let's hope for better weather for mt. bike season!
