This GRiT Ride is about something bigger than bikes. 💪🚵♀️❤️
NICA’s mission is to build strong minds, bodies, character, and communities, and those lessons don’t end when the season does. They don’t even end when your years as a NICA student-athlete are over.
For our upcoming GRiT Ride, we’re honored to celebrate one of our own: Corporal Madi Frost Georgia, a former NICA student-athlete and GRiT Ambassador who is now serving our country as a U.S. Marine, stationed in Okinawa, Japan.
Madi is a pretty incredible example of what it means to carry the strength, confidence, leadership, and community built through NICA into the next chapters of life. And this race weekend, our NICA community gets to send a little of that community back to her. ❤️
We’ll have a care package donation bin and poster for everyone to sign at the GRiT tent. Bring a note or card of encouragement, or help us fill her package with a few fun reminders of the mountain bike community cheering her on from home!
Ideas include:
• Team or bike stickers
• Socks
• Hats
• Water bottles
• Small T-shirts or jerseys
• Notes and cards of encouragement
Come ride with us, sign the poster, add something to Madi’s care package, and help us remind one of our own that GRiT goes far beyond the trail.
Once a part of the NICA family, always a part of the NICA family. ❤️
