We are pleased to announce the sixth annual NICA Awards to recognize and celebrate NICA’s outstanding student-athletes, dedicated coaches, and passionate volunteer community that support the high school mountain biking revolution. This year, NICA will be honoring 16 individuals in 11 different award categories. We proudly invite you to this stellar event to learn more about the impact NICA is having.

The festivities will begin with a guided mountain bike ride with Todd Wells and Lucas Euser. Come to meet and ride with student athletes, coaches, volunteers, and NICA staff from across the country!

• About the Ride

  Weather- While California Winter weather is more moderate than most, we are expecting temperatures 40 – 60 Degrees Fahrenheit and light rain. The trails we plan to ride hold-up very well in wet weather, so will will still ride if it is raining lightly. If the weather forecast changes due to heavy rain or other weather,  you will receive an e-mail with the adjusted plan by Friday at 12:00 PM PST. This webpage will be updated as well.

• Packing- We recommend knee or leg warmers, arm-warmers and rain jackets in additional to the rest of your school team bike kit and, if applicable, leaders jersey for the photo shoot. We also recommend warm clothes to change into.
