Texas League Teams Up with Trek to Host Try-It-Out Rides
This October, the Texas Interscholastic Mountain Bike League, in collaboration with Trek, hit the trails across the Lone Star State with a series of try-it-out rides. These events brought the excitement of mountain biking to regions all over Texas—spanning from Austin to Dallas and Fort Worth to Houston—and got over 550 kids on bikes!
These rides provided an incredible opportunity for families who are new to NICA or mountain biking to experience the sport firsthand. At the league level, we organized statewide events in partnership with Trek, while individual teams also hosted local try-it-out rides to make the experience accessible in their own communities.
From the cheers of first-time riders to the encouragement of seasoned NICA coaches, the energy at every event was contagious. Whether navigating trails for the first time or simply soaking in the camaraderie, these rides introduced a new generation of student-athletes to the joys of mountain biking.
Thank you to Trek for their partnership and to all the dedicated teams, coaches, and volunteers who made this initiative a success. Together, we’ve paved the way for more families to join the NICA community and discover the transformative power of mountain biking.
