HOWDY COACH!
|
Access to new and existing trails in the future depends on our stewardship; use the Spirit of Howdy website to teach NICA student-athletes respect and empathy for other trail users, how to train appropriately and pick the right trail for the purpose of the ride.
Coaches are an essential component to successful mountain bike teams and we want to provide our support. Most coaches resources are located at the NICA Coaches Resources page.
