NJICL Lewis Morris Mania – Race 3
The NJICL is so stoked to be jumping into our ninth season of providing an amazing race experience to our community of hard-working and talented student athletes. As always, our goal of providing a professional, safe, and FUN racing experience is foremost in our minds as we set the schedule for each season. We’ve changed up the schedule a bit this year, with our season finale being at Stephens State Park, and we can’t wait to see everyone at the races!
About NICA
Every year in the NJ League, approximately 8 out of 10 of our registered students participate in at least one race, and at any given race about 6 out of 10 registrants participate. Nationwide, nearly 9 out of 10 NICA students experience racing bikes for the first time in our program! Although NICA is so much more than racing, we are super happy to offer this experience to the next generation of cyclists as the culmination of a wonderful season of riding together!
Race 3: Lewis Morris Mania
The Land on which Lewis Morris Park stands is part of the ancient homeland and traditional territory of the Munsee Lenape people. We pay respect to Munsee Lenape peoples past, present, and future and their continuing presence in the homeland and throughout the Lenape diaspora.
Named in honor of New Jersey’s first Governor, the 350 acre Lewis Morris Park was opened by the Morris County Park Commission in 1958. Affectionately known as “LewMo” to locals, it is a popular mountain biking destination and no stranger to mountain bike racing, having been the home of Marty’s Lewis Morris Challenge for many years.
An original NJICL venue, it’s a fun technical loop just over 3 miles long that will challenge riders’ bike handling and climbing skills.
