The <\/p>\n
weather <\/p>\n
could <\/p>\n
not <\/p>\n
have <\/p>\n
been <\/p>\n
better <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
racing. <\/p>\n
Riders <\/p>\n
were <\/p>\n
greeted <\/p>\n
with <\/p>\n
sunny <\/p>\n
skies, <\/p>\n
warm <\/p>\n
temperatures, <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
refreshing <\/p>\n
breeze <\/p>\n
across <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
open <\/p>\n
sections <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
course. <\/p>\n
Once <\/p>\n
racers <\/p>\n
entered <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
woods, <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
tree <\/p>\n
canopy <\/p>\n
provided <\/p>\n
welcome <\/p>\n
shade <\/p>\n
from <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
summer <\/p>\n
heat. <\/p>\n
\n
The <\/p>\n
championship <\/p>\n
venue <\/p>\n
featured <\/p>\n
two <\/p>\n
race <\/p>\n
courses: <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
1.7-mile <\/p>\n
loop <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
middle <\/p>\n
school <\/p>\n
riders <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
challenging <\/p>\n
2.8-mile <\/p>\n
course <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
high <\/p>\n
school <\/p>\n
athletes. <\/p>\n
The <\/p>\n
trails <\/p>\n
were <\/p>\n
dry <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
fast, <\/p>\n
featuring <\/p>\n
technical <\/p>\n
switchbacks, <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
sustained <\/p>\n
climb <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
top <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
mountain, <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
plenty <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
flowing <\/p>\n
berms <\/p>\n
that <\/p>\n
allowed <\/p>\n
riders <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
carry <\/p>\n
speed <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
race <\/p>\n
aggressively. <\/p>\n
The <\/p>\n
Growlers <\/p>\n
embraced <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
challenge <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
delivered <\/p>\n
an <\/p>\n

finishing <\/p>\n
sixth <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
state <\/p>\n
is <\/p>\n
an <\/p>\n
accomplishment <\/p>\n
everyone <\/p>\n
associated <\/p>\n
with <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
program <\/p>\n
can <\/p>\n
be <\/p>\n
proud <\/p>\n
of. <\/p>\n
\n
Looking <\/p>\n
Ahead <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
2027 <\/p>\n
\n
The <\/p>\n
2027 <\/p>\n
season <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
bring <\/p>\n
significant <\/p>\n
changes <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
New <\/p>\n
York <\/p>\n
NICA <\/p>\n
racing. <\/p>\n
\n
The <\/p>\n
New <\/p>\n
York <\/p>\n
league <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
transition <\/p>\n
from <\/p>\n
its <\/p>\n
traditional <\/p>\n
spring <\/p>\n
season <\/p>\n
schedule <\/p>\n
(December <\/p>\n
through <\/p>\n
June) <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
fall <\/p>\n
racing <\/p>\n
calendar <\/p>\n
running <\/p>\n
from <\/p>\n
July <\/p>\n
through <\/p>\n
October. <\/p>\n
Riders <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
compete <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
three-race <\/p>\n
spring <\/p>\n
series <\/p>\n
followed <\/p>\n
by <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
three-race <\/p>\n
fall <\/p>\n
championship <\/p>\n
season. <\/p>\n
\n
The <\/p>\n
Growlers <\/p>\n
are <\/p>\n
excited <\/p>\n
about <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
change <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
hopeful <\/p>\n
that <\/p>\n
warmer <\/p>\n
weather, <\/p>\n
longer <\/p>\n
daylight <\/p>\n
hours, <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
improved <\/p>\n
riding <\/p>\n
conditions <\/p>\n
will <\/p>\n
help <\/p>\n
attract <\/p>\n
even <\/p>\n
more <\/p>\n
young <\/p>\n
athletes <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
sport. <\/p>\n
\n
The <\/p>\n
future <\/p>\n
is <\/p>\n
bright <\/p>\n
for <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
Galena <\/p>\n
Growlers, <\/p>\n
and <\/p>\n
we <\/p>\n
are <\/p>\n
already <\/p>\n
looking <\/p>\n
forward <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
2027 <\/p>\n
season. <\/p>\n

Congratulations <\/p>\n
to <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
Galena <\/p>\n
Growlers <\/p>\n
on <\/p>\n
an <\/p>\n
outstanding <\/p>\n

and <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
sixth-place <\/p>\n
finish <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n

For <\/p>\n
a <\/p>\n
small <\/p>\n
team <\/p>\n
competing <\/p>\n
against <\/p>\n
some <\/p>\n
of <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
largest <\/p>\n
programs <\/p>\n
in <\/p>\n
the <\/p>\n
league, <\/p>\n
that’s <\/p>\n
an <\/p>\n
impressive <\/p>\n
accomplishment. <\/p>\n
