Grom racing continues at District Church! It cooled off just enough for us to hit the course, but warm temps and more climbing added an extra challenge and these Groms faced it head on 💪

Plus, a special Le Mans start for our 5th graders to top off a fun night!

Two more chances to join us on October 22 & 29! See you out there, link in bio.

A little heat couldn’t keep these Groms from tearin’ up the course! Cheering them on is the highlight of our week.

Special shout out to Mike with Trek Bicycle Company El Dorado Hills for being out there with us each week to keep everyone’s bikes rolling smoothly!

One more race in Folsom this Thursday, October 1 before we move things over to the District track in El Dorado Hills for the second half of the season.

🚨 Update: Off-trail cycling topic removed from agenda for this meeting, stay tuned for rescheduling.

Clipped In community, here's a great opportunity to help expand off-road cycling in the greater Sacramento area! Check it out 👇

🚴 Cyclists: Your voice is needed!

The Subcommittee on Off-Trail Cycling will release its report to the County Recreation and Parks Commision recommending expanded bike access to fire roads and select trails along the American River Parkway. Now it's time to make sure decision-makers hear from the people who'll actually use this access.

If you bike the Parkway (or want to), show up and make a public comment in support of the report. Turnout matters. A strong, visible showing of riders tells the Parks Commission this is a priority for the community, not just a handful of advocates.

📅 Thursday, Sept. 24, 6:30 p.m.
📍 Sacramento County Recreation and Parks Commission, 10361 Rockingham Drive, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95827

Let's make sure cyclists are heard. See you there! 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️

What gets us stoked? More girls riding bikes!

The kindergarten and first grade girls showed up in force for yesterday's Grom season kickoff - and they weren't alone. 35 of our 96 racers were girls, doing hard things and cheering each other on. 💫

Girls feel inspired to ride when they see other girls getting it done! Share this with a family who you think should be out here too. 🫶
