We are a youth development mountain bike league.
  • Some sponsors show up on a logo sheet. Radical Custom Cycling Apparel shows up in person.

This season, Katie, Stevie the trail dog, and the Radco crew were at every KICL event—cheering on GRiT riders, dreaming up party shirts, and helping teams feel like, well, teams. Radco is the woman-owned local business behind our Roses State Championship jerseys and those coveted leaders’ jerseys that riders hang up and keep forever.

Now Radco is going one step further with a generous gift to KICL and our GRiT programming, supporting more welcoming spaces where females can ride, race, coach, and lead.

Join us in giving a huge thank you to Katie, Jon, Stevie, and the entire @radicalcustomcyclingapparel family for believing in Kentucky youth on bikes and backing it up with action. 

Give a gift to KICL and keep this momentum rolling: https://kentuckymtb.org/?form=nicadonate

  • This turkey dabbed so hard it qualified for JV1.

We’re grateful to every rider, coach, volunteer, family, and partner who brings energy, kindness, and community spirit to our league. 🦃  If you’re spending today around a table, around a campfire, or squeezing in a quick ride before dessert, we hope your Thanksgiving is filled with good food, good company, and plenty of reasons to smile. 

Happy Thanksgiving! 🚴‍♂️

Your strength gives our communities the freedom to gather, to ride, and to grow future leaders who understand service beyond themselves. We’re grateful for your example of honor, dedication, and resilience.

Happy Veterans Day.
