Monarch Racing [almost] Quarterly Update + 2026 Team Applications
Team News
It’s a month early for our quarterly update, but there’s lots to share! The end of summer brings our 2025 season almost to a close. The Elite team is finishing up the Green Mountain Stage Race, and the Juniors are planning their final local road events of the year and getting used to the start of their new school year!
Since we last checked in, Sofia Tripcevich won the 17-18 Jr. Girls’ National Championship in MTB Marathon, and is eyeing the Junior MTB circuit next year. Ava Scott raced the iconic Leadville 100, and several riders took on the Downieville Classic and local road events.
We are also very proud of our graduating seniors - Delia Robinson, who is going to be attending UC Santa Cruz, and Ava Scott, who is going to be attending Fort Lewis College.
2026 Team Applications are now open for both Elite and Junior teams! They can be accessed here:
Both applications close September 15th!

Helena Gilbert-Snyder shared Monarch Racing’s mission and why it’s important for everyone - regardless of their gender, age, or cycling experience.
Our Junior panelists, Delia Robinson and Fern Campbell, shared how Monarch Racing has changed their lives and why supporting riders like them is so important.
