Competition
If you’re motivated by the fun of lining up with friends to challenge yourself and each other and relishing the ride, we have something that you’ll love in PICL racing!
Sharing your passion with a few thousand people at our state-wide PICL events makes for amazing mountain biking weekends for the whole family.
Our small and simple “Local Dirt” events hosted by neighboring teams offer fun, low stress weeknight races that are close to home.
We’re more than racing.
We do more than just race bikes. We love fun adventures outdoors with our friends. Adventure activities include treasure hunts, costume parades, on-the-bike games, night rides, team-building activities, campouts, weekend trips, day camps and more!
Whether motivated by competition or inspired by the idea of a long adventure through the woods with friends, there is so much for riders and families to do here in PICL. Come along for the ride!
Making an impact in our communities.
Teams and riders give back to their local communities and the mountain bike community through trail stewardship. The league has generated over 10,000 hours and $250,000 in cumulative value to PA parks, trails, and forests in only four seasons! Our commitment led to the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources supporting PICL with a capacity-building grant and we’re using that to put more kids on bikes! How great is that? Riders can earn points for trail work, too!
“Our daughter is doing things she never knew she was capable of. I am so incredibly grateful that PICL exists and has given her an opportunity to participate in a healthy, life-long activity.”
