Beyond the NICA season, LHYC is a registered USA Cycling (USAC) Club. This status allows our athletes to compete in sanctioned events year-round across diverse disciplines:

• Cross-Country (Non-NICA): Competitive mountain bike racing outside of the scholastic league, allowing athletes to compete in regional and national USAC-sanctioned events.

• Gravel: Long-distance riding and racing on unpaved roads, combining endurance with the beauty of our backroads.

• Cyclocross: A high-intensity autumn discipline featuring short laps on mixed terrain with obstacles that sometimes require carrying the bike.

• Gravity: Focused on high-speed downhill descents and technical bike-handling skills rather than uphill pedaling.
