The team originated back in 2006 when Jesse Nickell started the Harbor High School mountain bike team, and finishing with an overall second place in the NorCal Mountain Biking League, Division II.  After two years leading the team, Jesse took a break and the team was led by David Giannini, Joe Nehls, and Chris Sandoval.  With riders from other schools interested and the numbers changing yearly at our local high schools, Joe Nehls and Chris Sandoval continued to lead the team as it changed to the the composite Santa Cruz Junior Cycling Club in 2009 so any riders without a school team could join and enjoy mountain biking and racing.  In 2010 the team again had a second place overall finish in the NorCal Mountain Bike League, Division II.  For the 2010-2011 season the team will be led by Kevin Giberson and other coaches, with the goal of adding riders to the team and providing many different riding opportunities with a diverse group of coaches and ride leaders.  To provide this wonderful opportunity for our youth, the team relies on donor contributions to finance the expense of race entry fees, coach certifications and training, travel, uniforms, food, and equipment for the riders.  Please consider donating at the Velo link below.  Thanks!

Santa Cruz Junior Cycling Club is a youth mountain biking and cross country racing organization focused on developing our youth riders into physically fit and balanced  community members and leaders through a number of different programs, while at the same time enjoying riding and racing bikes.  Please help us offset our expenses and fully support our youth as they enter into the world of cycling and aim to become lifelong cyclists.  Donations can be made at our Foundation's web site:
