2021
Due to restrictions related to the Coronavirus we were sadly unable to race during 2021 thus no racing awards are included. We worked hard to create a challenge program unrelated to large gatherings that could add value to team practices and came up with the “WRMB Challenge” where WRMB is short for “Well Rounded Mountain Biker.” Riders and Coaches worked on completing any of 25 challenges. Many completed multiple challenges. 76 completed the WRMB Award which included the completion of 14 challenges from across multiple domains and 1 exceedingly dedicated student-athlete who completed The Completionist Award which is completing all 25 challenges.
