Girls Riding Together
NICA’s vision is that every youth is empowered to be part of a thriving and engaged cycling community.
NICA’s GRiT initiative exists to give girls and women equitable access to the transformative power of mountain biking. Through GRiT, we create the safe spaces and opportunities necessary for women and girls to engage, build confidence, belong, and thrive as riders and humans.
Why GRiT?
GRiT doesn’t exist because women and girls are different, or need different coaching. Girls love sport and want to have fun, while also learning skills and being challenged. However, gender-related challenges are still one of the biggest reasons that girls drop out of sports or don’t try them to begin with. That is why GRiT exists.
Reach out to GRiT coordinator Dana Morris (dana@missourimtb.org) for more information.
