    No Dig, No Ride.  Trail work: 

Our team does trail work. Most mountain bike trails in the US would not exist without volunteers. That is true for trails in Northwest Ohio as well. In addition to actually creating and maintaining the trails, those volunteer hours show park managers how important the trails are to the community. This type of information influences future land access, funding and even legislative decisions.

As part of a 501c3 non-profit, we keep our registration fees low to cover the most basic operational costs. This helps remove barriers to getting kids outside. Please consider making a donation or choosing to sponsor the team to help provide beneficial practice and race equipment, as well as assisting to provide bikes and gear for families that may need a little help.
