Not every one wants to race. NICA Adventure is a program that allows these student athletes to experience the benefits of mountain biking, camaraderie, community, and the outdoors. It helps reinforce the NICA core values while building health and strength, learning new skills, and being part of a team of like-minded people through outdoor experiences and education.
