Try-It-Out NICA Event at Sugarite Canyon State Park
August 1, 2024 – By Vixie Zorra
On Sunday, July 28, 2024, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) hosted an event called “Try-It-Out” at Sugarite Canyon State Park. From 10:30 A.M. until noon, five cyclists ranging in ability from novice to experienced rode the bike trail at Lake Maloya, starting before the dam coming to the lake, turning around, and coming back the same way. Participants went up and down the rocky hills before the instructor, Alex Weier, demonstrated how to fix a bike tire, beginning with identifying why it’s gone flat in the first place. The participants also learned how to use the brakes, shift gears, and position their body during riding. These skills were demonstrated through interactive games and races. During the ride, more equally-valuable skills were learned, including road safety, how to corner, what to pack, and how to ascend and descend a rough-terrain trail. For an inexperienced rider, the trail proved to be difficult, however, a very rewarding experience. Shayne Young of Moss Adventures and Raton Adventure Center discussed with Mr. Weier the possibility of working together to have more such events in the future. More information should become available to the public soon.
