cant press like button hard enough. Just like Marty and the original crew envisioned it has taken off from the 1st season where we had maybe 150 kids? I hope this keeps going and at some point I can make enough time to come back and coach/volunteer.
250 total students year 1. 144 racers at the inaugural race iirc. We hoped to get 100 and were pleasantly surprised!

Apple Watches will finally be able to natively support power meters and other bike specific sensors. We're one step closer to ditching gamins. At least I am..
I'm sure it will take a bit to get all figured out but the APIs are all there for 3rd party developers to make good apps for tracking rides and training. Maybe Strava can finally be worth that extra $ they charge.

Reflecting on the conclusion of our 7th NJ NICA season. Over 600 students participated. 1800 total race starts. nearly 14,000 miles raced and over 1.1 million feet of elevation collectively gained by student racers. Tons of non-competitive bike-centric activities at the races. The best crew in NICA. Stoke meter pegged.

Thanks @KenS and the whole nica crew. You guys put on another amazing season. It's awesome what you all do for the kids.
I smile seeing the kids from other teams playing with each other like one big family.

It makes me so happy to see this too, well said Tom. NICA is so much more than racing. From siblings cheering for big sis/bro to spending the day together with kids from all around the state, it is one of most amazing things to witness. We bought an airtag for my 9 year old daughter specifically for the NICA events; she has met so many friends at them and has so much fun with her "NICA Squad" that we rarely see her through the day.

Another episode of Jeopardy follies (we are behind so this was last friday's). Final jeopardy: A historic 2 word headline in the New York Times in August, 1974. First wrong response was funny but not horrible and at least on the right track - Nixon Pardoned. Second wrong response as so bad I nearly choked laughing so hard - Carter Defeated! 🤣
