50 girls. 20 moms. One powerful weekend of connection, growth, and community. 🤗

Farmington High’s GRiT crew came together for two student-athlete clinics filled with mentorship, goal-setting, bracelet making, and campfire conversations. Moms were invited to join in too, creating an inclusive space for riders and their families to connect and support each other. ❤️

“To be part of GRiT is such an amazing opportunity… to have a niche within the larger group for girls and women to gather and give each other a sense of belonging, connection, friendship, cheerleading and support is even better.” 🎉

Huge thanks to the She Sends Foundation for making it all possible. 🤝 ...

The fall season is officially here! It`s time for a gear check! 🚴‍♂️🔧

Team rides are back, so make sure to double-check your setup! Here`s a quick checklist before your next ride:
✔️ Air in your tires at the correct PSI
✔️ Bike tuned and brakes working?
✔️ Chain clean and lubed?
✔️ Derailleur and gears shifting smoothly?
✔️ Shoes, gloves, and ride kit ready?
✔️ Helmet in good shape?

🧠 Heads up!
If your helmet is over 5 years old, it’s time to replace it, even if it hasn’t been in a crash. Helmet materials break down over time, and a fresh lid = safer rides.

Let’s stay safe, stay stoked, and make this season the best one yet! 🤘

What if a youth sports weren`t about wins and losses, but about growing confidence, building community, and showing up for each other? 🤝

That’s what NICA is all about. 🎊

When Idaho League Director Eddie Freyer gathered coaches and team leaders for a series of Leader Summits this spring, the focus wasn’t tactics or strategy ... it was reconnecting with our values. 💪

Why? Because NICA isn’t just racing. It’s about riding with purpose.

🧠 “We wanted our leaders to walk away committed to living out NICA’s mission, vision, and values in their communities,” Eddie shared.

Whether you’re a student-athlete, coach, or parent, you are part of that culture. Let’s keep showing up for each other. Let’s ride with intention. ❤️
