Come out and cheer on our NICA coaches Laura and Chip or drop a donation their way. They will be racing the Commuter Challenge @ Monkey Hill this Friday afternoon to raise money for Urban Bike Project programs, including our mountain bike team!
The Commuter Challenge is a special division of the Monkey Hill Time Trial. We complete the 3.2 mile time trial course on loaded commuter bikes, culminating in the notorious climb up the Monkey Hill cobblestones. The more money each of us raises, the more weight we promise to carry on our bikes. Prizes are awarded for most weight across the finish line and fastest.
Any donations to help Chip’s fundraiser, Lauras’s fundraiser, or the 6 other competitors’ fundraisers.
Donations can be made by visiting gives.org/fundraisers/5th-annual-commuter-challenge and scrolling down to the list of competitors at the bottom of the page.
Folks can also come out to cheer the competitors on as they climb the hill to the finish line. The free, family-friendly event features a beer tent, food trucks, live music, and amateur and pro racing divisions after the Commuter Challenge. More info about the Monkey Hill Time Trial:

We wrapped up an incredible few days of learning, connection, and momentum heading into the 2026 season.
Saturday was packed with classroom sessions and hands-on outdoor scenarios focused on risk management, designing practices for mixed-ability groups, and diving into Coaches Pack Summit Series modules. Even more valuable—our coaches spent real time getting to know each other and building the kind of community that makes this league special.
We also hosted Level 3 training with Ariana from PICL, followed by a great evening together at Autumn Arch to connect and unwind.
Sunday brought more skills to the table with OTB 101 and Trailwork sessions—because great coaching goes beyond the ride.
We’re fired up for what’s ahead in 2026:✨ Trailwork Series✨ Coaches Community Series✨ New venues for racing and adventure
This is how we grow—together.

Coaches, now is a great time to get a head start on the season. All coaches with the Delaware Mountain Biking League can begin working through their online modules toward 2026 certification.
These modules are more than a requirement—they’re part of building safe, confident, and supported riders. Every hour invested helps create a stronger team culture and a better experience for every student-athlete who lines up next season.
Thank you for the time and commitment you give to this league and these kids. The season starts long before the first ride. 🚵♀️
