Texas NICA Leader Summit - Waco Registration is now open for the annual TX NICA Leader Summit, hosted this season by the Heart of Texas team at Midway High School.

GRiT just keeps growing, and we LOVE to see it.

More girls riding. More girls racing. More women coaching. More families discovering just how much fun it is to spend a weekend outside together.

For Season XVI, we’re giving our GRiT Coach + Ambassador jerseys a fresh look, and we’re looking for one $5,000 sponsor to help us put them on the people doing the work to make it happen.

We’ll also have a lighter-colored alternative GRiT jersey available for anyone to purchase. Your logo won’t just show up on race day, it’ll hit the trails with our coaches, ambassadors, athletes, families and supporters across Texas.

We’d especially love to partner with a Texas woman-owned business that believes, like we do, that kids belong outside.

Know one that sounds like a perfect fit? Tag them below. 👇

Want to be that partner? Send us a message. Let’s get more girls on bikes.

At NICA, we've always believed mountain biking is about more than riding bikes. It's about building strong minds, bodies, character, and communities. It's about giving young people a place where they can challenge themselves, build confidence, find lifelong friends, and discover what they're capable of

Whaaaat!!?!
Playa Bowls in Austin has a NICA bowl! And it sounds delicious. Where's my golden spoon......

Shout-out to Suzanne Johnson, our South conference race official for the find!

More girls on bikes!

Our friends out in Odessa are at risk of losing their mountain bike park and trails. Help them remind the city that mountain biking isn't just here to stay, it's GROWING across our state and across the country!
Our youth (and adults) need outdoor space more than ever!
