One big lesson from 2019 is that we need trained backups in every race staff position. The Board budgeted for quite an increase in race staffing to accommodate this and maintain professional and safe events.

We're excited to announce that Justin Kreger has agreed to join the race staff as our Assistant Course Director. This is a new role that will provide additional leadership for course marking, change-over, and teardown, acting as a backup when the Course Director is unavailable. Justin will also shadow Lisa for course design to understand her process and methodologies for creating a safe and fun event for all ages.

Justin began racing in MiSCA in 2011 and earned the MiSCA State Championship several times (2011 Middle School; 2012 J/V; 2015 & 2016 Varsity). Justin also served on the inaugural Student Advisory Committee in the 2017-2018 year. In addition to his MiSCA career, he has competed at hundreds of cycling races, mainly mountain bike but other disciplines as well.

In his words:
"I have been racing and riding bikes for almost my whole life, and started competing in the MISCA series back 2011. I love anything bike related and I've done a little bit of everything, from track racing to ultra-endurance mountain biking, and even a little bikepacking. When I'm not riding, I spend most of my time working at Cycletherapy or focused on my studies. I am currently in my third year at Oakland University, pursuing a degree in exercise science.

I have seen MISCA grow over the years, and I am honored to be a part and continue to watch it evolve. I am excited to work with the same people who have given me the opportunity to race for years and give back to those who have given me so much.

I believe MISCA has played a crucial role in my success as a junior cyclist and prepared me to race at the national level. Although I do not race as much now as I used to, I have found a new sense of joy from simply riding, and I hope to help others experience the same." ... See MoreSee Less

We want to welcome Heather and Samuel Simmonds to the MiSCA Race Staff. They will tag team as co-Course Coordinators helping to set up the infield/start/finish on Saturdays, finish setup on Sundays, aid in racer staging, and event cleanup. They have been helping at nearly every race for the past 2 years and will be a great addition to the team!

We are still looking for 1 more Course Coordinator to join our team! Please apply at forms.gle/nqpaghAceVQ3BbvR7 if you're interested in getting more involved!

In their words:
"Our introduction to mt. biking could not have been more different. Samuel was in his early teens when he got his first “bike shop” mt. bike, a used Fuji he bought second hand from a friend. After that, he was hooked. He grew up riding the NORBA trails at Schuss Mountain, and creating his own trails at his home in the Jordan Valley. Samuel now enjoys working on and building bikes. When he isn’t working for Michigan Kenworth or riding singletrack, you'll find him in the middle of a bike build, or two. (or three!)

Heather didn’t get her first “real” mountain bike until after we got married, and even then she did not really get into riding singletrack until our kids, Ethan (Axel) and Miley (Smiley) were old enough to ride with us. She freely admits that she is now the worst mt. biker in the family, but she loves the time we spend out on the trails together.

We live in Mancelona, MI, only about 15 miles from the Glacial Hills trail system in Bellaire. We also enjoy kayaking together as a family in Northern Michigan’s endless supply of lakes and rivers.

In the summer of 2018, we were looking for a race or two for Ethan when we found MiSCA. We really liked the idea of a racing series just for kids. After just one race, we decided we wanted to get involved. We have been helping with course set-up on Saturdays ever since, along with clean-up and other odd jobs on race day. It seems like a natural next step for us to take on an official role. We love MiSCA, and we are very excited for this opportunity." ... See MoreSee Less

Join us in welcoming Chris Jensen as MiSCA's Education Program Manager. Heather had recently decided to step away from MiSCA and this new position replaces the Director of Coaching position. We are forever indebted to Heather and her efforts to build our coaching program to where it is today!

You may recognize Chris as one of our lead clinic facilitators since 2018. Chris will now start work, scheduling coach and student clinics. We are also planning to roll out a new curriculum for coaches to utilize with their teams. Lots more coming soon!

Chris is a BICP Level 2 Instructor and has led instruction of MiSCA coaches for the past two seasons. In addition to mountain bike skills training, he also leads a weekly in-season cyclocross race skills clinic in Grand Rapids, teaching and practicing both technical skills and race tactics. In addition to his experience as an instructor, Chris has led mountain, cyclocross, and road bike group rides for shops and clubs in Chicago and Grand Rapids for a decade. As a veteran racer in nearly every discipline, he combines structured foundational instruction with practical knowledge to ensure riders can maximize the benefit from both. ... See MoreSee Less

Join us in welcoming Mike Kearney to the race staff as our Assistant Race Director. Mike has volunteered at nearly every race the past couple of years and will now step into this official role. This new position was created to maintain professional and safe events long into the future.

In his own words:
"As a relative newbie to mountain biking, I've only been on two wheels in the woods for about 8 years now. I spent the first 21 years of my life in Virginia, where I played soccer for 12 years, was a USSF-Certified Referee for 5 years, a Prince William County Schools substitute teacher for 4 years, and earned the Eagle Scout achievement. After graduating from Virginia Tech and moving to Michigan to engineer hybrid and electric vehicles for General Motors, I started running the trails I have come to love and eventually began exploring them with friends on an old-steel frame Trek 820. Wanting to get more involved in the management of local natural resources I depend on, I served two years as a board member for the Motor City Mountain Biking Association, co-organize the Milford Bike Fest and Trail Challenge (first Saturday in June!), am the Trail Coordinator for the Hickory Glen mountain bike trail with my other half, and serve as Vice President on the MiSCA board. Many bikes and pairs of trail running shoes later, I'm still not the fastest on wheels or on foot, but I cherish the time I spend in the woods alone or with friends, and I'm fortunate for the opportunity to share the adventure and stewardship through MiSCA!"

Lots of other announcements in the works. Stay tuned! ... See MoreSee Less

MiSCA Michigan Scholastic Cycling Association is feeling excited.

As MiSCA has grown, the registration process has gotten more involved for parents, staff, and volunteers. While same-day registration at the races is tough to manage, we will continue to offer this for families that may not have a fully committed youngster. We considered removing this for 2020 but feel it's important to keep the option.

We are expanding our staff to spread the workload and provide a more streamlined process. A familiar face, most recently acting as Registration Coordinator on race day, Sarah Vano will be on the MiSCA staff throughout the year as our Registration Manager. She will remain active on race day as well, with an expanded role as our Operations Manager.

"I decided that instead of being really good at one sport, I would be mediocre at three as a triathlete, recently getting into long course racing with no intentions of stopping any time soon. I've been mountain biking for 10 years and appreciate the life lessons and fulfillment the sport provides, and want to ensure students have an opportunity to experience a sport that gave so much back to me. I recently obtained my BICP level 1 certification and am working toward becoming a more involved coach at MiSCA clinics and camps. I am active in working on my local trail, Hickory Glen, and am also one of the event organizers for the Milford Bike Festival. Since swim/bike/run doesn't pay the bills, I work full time as an engineer at General Motors Milford Proving Grounds. I live in Commerce with my other half and 3 cats. My favorite local trail is Potawatomi, where I have logged many memorable races and training miles on foot and on wheels."

We are excited to see Sarah in this these new roles and know it will benefit all those involved with MiSCA.

Interested in joining Sarah's team on race day? We are looking for some staff to focus on registration and merchandise sales. Apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdzQAjpxFIAeXZKgmbhdKf0TyGjdnKZjZp-ppFIlZzYSWBfQQ/viewform?usp=s... ... See MoreSee Less

MiSCA is pleased to welcome Brian Miller to our Board of Directors.

"I have been riding mountain bikes for 25 years, and still haven't managed to podium at a major race. As a decidedly average yet entirely passionate singletrack enthusiast, I enjoy coaching the West Michigan Coyotes in my free time. I serve professionally as the Dean of the Global Campus and Academic Systems at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, where I have worked for 15 years. My tenure as a MiSCA board member comes on the heels of an eight-year stint as an elected City Commissioner in East Grand Rapids where I worked to improve parks, parking, trails, and streets. I live with my wife and our two daughters in East Grand Rapids. My favorite local trail is Cannonsburg Ski Area, but I'm just as happy driving to DTE to get my flow on."

Please join us in welcoming Brian and thanking him for his efforts! ... See MoreSee Less
