GRiT Social, Mom’s Ride, Try It Out, and Gear Exchange

Details: Time to kick off the 2024 mountain bike season with an all-girls, all-levels GRiT Social Ride! This event is for all of our girl student athletes, girls (grades 6-12) who are interested in joining a NICA team, and prospective female coaches.  We’ll be breaking into groups based on riding experience and head out for a social-paced ride.  Our brand new riders will participate in a basic skills clinic with the intent of getting out on a short trail ride.  We’ll ride for an hour or so and come back for a pizza party (pizza provided by the IICL) and a bike gear exchange.

New for 2024!  We will also be offering a mom’s ride!  If you are a true beginner with little to no off-road mountain biking experience, we’ll have a basic skills clinic.  For our moms with more experience riding off-road, we’ll do a mellow social ride.

Please bring your mountain bike, helmet, water bottle/hydration pack, trail snacks, and sunscreen.  Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes.

For the gear exchange, please feel free to bring any bike-related gear you’d like to sell, trade, or give away!  If you do bring gear, it will be helpful to bring a blanket to set up your stuff on.

Coaches…we also need volunteers to help run this event and make it FUN!  We have a different form for you to sign up HERE.

PLEASE sign up in advance for this event so we can ensure we have enough coaches to make this event run smoothly and safely!

PARENTS!  Please fill out one form for each child.  Your child must be registered and “practice ready” in Pit Zone to participate in this event. Parents of new and prospective student athletes must sign an electronic waiver to participate (link below).  If you are dropping off your child or sending them with another family, please make sure this step is taken care of beforehand.

Moms…if you are going to ride with us and you aren’t a Level 1 coach, you will also need to fill out a waiver.
