Cartecay Bike Team preparing for second season
Community April 6, 2018
ELLIJAY, Ga. – Entering its second season as an official team, the Cartecay Youth Bike Team has already achieved greatness by producing a state champion in its inaugural season.
Even though the actual race season runs through September, October, and November, the team is already preparing for early training and meetings. Involving parents of the students on the team is part of the process through the next three months of April, May, and June as Coach Larry Alonso prepares for practice season and eventually the races.
Preparing the team in its first season, Alonso said he and his wife expected only a handful of members with their own children making at least half of the team. Today, Alonso celebrates 10 state finishers last season with Hannah Calabretta being a state champion in her first season of competition.
Alonso points to his Mountain Bike Team and the sports as more youth development focused than competitive. Separating the competition from other sports, Alonso said the constant focus on self alleviates much of the back biting and negativity of many other sports. Additionally, Alonso commented on how competitive mountain biking builds on active lifestyles and growth through training like many other sports. Competitors must be fully sufficient on the course for any repairs and on-the-spot fixes needed as accepting outside help carries a penalty in the competition.
Alonso said teaching these skills is so much more than just a sport. He teaches the mechanics of the bikes, skills for sufficiency, and the physical conditioning itself.
Moving into his second season now, Alonso is beginning to build on his successes as he hopes to increase the size of his team, but also to increase the team’s connection and involvement in the county. The team appeared at the Board of Commissioner’s March meeting for Alonso to speak to the commissioners about the county’s trails system.
Part of his presentation to the commissioners focused on the benefits his team and sport could provide for the county. Alonso has already begun work on an “Ellijay Invitational” event to bring teams all over Georgia to Gilmer County as the Mountain Biking Capital of Georgia. Alonso admitted he has already hit a wall in the event for parking and access for the major crowds seeking to attend and view the event with family.
Dreaming bigger, Coach Alonso noted ideas of partnerships for trails through or around local apple orchards and more adaptations for major competitions to point to Gilmer as the Mountain Biking Capital and hold events as such. These events, on average, see upwards of 800 racers and potentially 5,000 people attending the race. A major event like this also exposes people to the county for tourism in addition to the immediate economic in town.
The growth continues across the state, according to Alonso, who stated, “There’s no better place for the state championship race than at the mountain biking capital.” Gilmer provides everything needed for the events with varying difficulties across the county, but an event like this could show the mountain views across harder trails to make it a peak destination for the sport.
The races these students on Cartecay Youth Mountain Bike Team face changes across the minimum sixth-grade riders to do one lap around a five to six mile course and finish. Junior varsity riders do two or three laps to finish, and varsity hit four to five laps totaling around 20 miles before the race ends.
Cartecay continues building on its success and is inviting students and parents interested in the team to attend their team meeting on April 10. The event is one of six preseason events the team is allowed to hold before the end of June.

Club Kids of the Month
Boys and Girls Club, Community December 4, 2017
Three Rivers Boys & Girls Club announce their new youths of the month Alex Miltiades and Emma Stover.
Alex is currently in fourth grade at Ellijay Elementary School while Emma is in Kindergarten at Ellijay Primary School.
An official release from Boys & Girls Club of Gilmer County Director Jan Day shares a short biopic of each students as follows:
Emma joined our Club in the summer of 2017, joining her big sister, Lannah, who has been with us since 2012. Emma has a smile that lights up a room and her love for friends and kindness to all led to the staff selecting her for this Optimist Club sponsored honor.
Emma likes coming to the Club because she likes to play with Legos in the game room (and she creates amazing structures!). She loves to play soccer in the gym, paint in the art room and read in the Power Hour Room. She also enjoys being a part of our “Mind and Music” program with Mr. Paul where she sings her heart out!
When she is not at the Club, she loves to play with her stuffed animals and toys at home. She plays softball and likes to play basketball. She enjoys going to the park and school.
Emma plans to become a teacher after High School, where words get bigger and she can learn. Ms. Molly is a role model for her!
Mom, Jennifer, says: “Emma learns new things every day. Emma has learned how to be respectful and wants to help people in our community. The Boys & Girls Club is a fun and safe environment which has helped her self-esteem and creativity. We are very grateful for all the hard work Ms. Jan and the staff members put into the Club.”
Alex and his sister, Alaina, joined our Club in the fall of 2015. Since joining our Club, his infectious grin and energetic drive have made him an easy selection by our Staff to be the Optimist Club sponsored Club Kid of the month.
Alex enjoys coming to the Club because he likes to have fun with his friends. He says he is “thankful for even going to Boys & Girls Club.”
Alex is quite the athlete, enjoying basketball, soccer and football. One place you can always find him is in the gym shooting hoops or playing “Lightnin”.
Graduation from High School will find him pursuing a career in basketball and “being a good citizen.” Alex already demonstrates those good citizen qualities by being fair and honest in all his activities at the Club.
Mom, Elizabeth, has this to say about having Alex as a Club Kid. “This program has given Alex the opportunity to be part of a safe and fun environment. It’s not just a place to go after school while Mom works; it’s a fun place. The staff and volunteers are all kind, fun loving and genuinely care about ALL the kids, not just my son. I am truly thankful for Ms. Jan and her hard work to see to the care of the children. She strives to raise great leaders of tomorrow which is started here. Thank you so much for providing for my own family in a time of need. This is a family and not just after school care. Safe for all who attend.”
