7 days and 58 percent to go!

We’re racing toward our $25,000 fundraising goal, and we need our Nebraska NICA community to help us cross the finish line!

Every dollar makes a difference. Your support helps bridge the gap between family participation fees and the true cost of running our league, keeping youth mountain biking affordable and helping more kids build confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging that come from being part of a team.

Can you help us get there? Donate, share this post, and challenge a friend to join the ride!

Grit, growth, and a whole lot of FUN!

Our GRiT program is about so much more than mountain biking. It’s about building confidence, creating connections, encouraging girls to try new things, and discovering just how much fun we can have along the way!

But getting more girls on bikes takes a team effort. Male allies play a HUGE role in making our initiative successful. From coaches and volunteers to fathers, brothers, and friends, men can help create welcoming spaces, encourage girls to push their limits, and champion opportunities for more girls to discover the joy of riding.

When we show up, ride together, cheer each other on, and make cycling a place where everyone belongs, we help build a stronger, more inclusive cycling community.

Because getting more girls on bikes isn't just a girls' initiative. It's something we can all be part of!

The Mills Country Mountaineers need YOU!

This small but mighty team needs a couple more coaches to help get .

All you need is an interest in working with kids and the ability to ride a bike without training wheels. We can teach you the rest!

If you're interested, please contact Coach Katelyn.

This past weekend, we asked members of our Student Cabinet about their favorite part about NICA.

Survey says; playing bikes with friends!

We heard those cowbells ringing at Branched Oak, which means it's time to share your experience at the Branched Oak Braaaap!

Help us tell our story. Help us demonstrate the impact we have on the communities in which we ride.

It wasn't the race Maya wanted, but what she did with it matters most.

Mollie, one of Maya's moms, says this about her experience yesterday:

"Early in her race today, Maya's mountain [bike] broke. She was not injured, which is the main thing....

So she walked. She walked almost a 5K. Once we knew what happened, we could walk with her to cheer her on.

I cannot explain how many levels this is the metaphor of Maya's life. Everything is just a little harder, requires a different way to finish, and has needed her moms behind her in slightly different ways than other parents of kids the same age.

What takes my breath away is the community around us, and today particularly the Nebraska Interscholastic Cycling League. Riders, volunteer marshals on the trail, parents in the stands cheered this girl and her parents through every checkpoint and on to the finish line. This has been the most supportive, inclusive, and positive sport we could wish for her. This is what sport should be."

THIS. This is how we are reinventing youth sports so that more kids can participate, and more kids can know what it feels like to belong. And more kids will know how important it is to cheer everyone on, because when we're together, we all win.
