Mountain biking as a community has often felt a responsibility towards the trail systems we use, and Teen Trail Corps is the NICA program to introduce our student-athletes to that culture of service. As leagues across NICA experience growth, NICA teams become highly visible users of the trail systems.Through Teen Trail Corps, NICA teams have an opportunity to showcase their commitment to the trails and develop a good reputation within the local trail community. Beyond developing community relationships, Teen Trail Corps also opens up land steward relationships and provides a pathway for leagues to work with land managers in developing new locations for team practice and potential event venues.
North State Composite is a strong believer in giving back to our mountain biking community. We believe our athletes, coaches and families have an obligation to contribute their valuable time to the betterment of Chico and our trail system. We partner with Chico Velo Trailworks for trail work days, and have volunteered at various events including the Wildflower Century Race and the Gateway Museum "Bike Day."
