Adventure Opener

Back by popular demand, we kick of Season 10 with a field trip to one of several riding locations in PA —> the team’s choice. Student-athletes and coaches will have the opportunity to explore a new-to-them trail system or freshly experience a familiar trail system, all while building connections and team culture.

PICL has created a brand new, hot off the press, team-building adventure activity for the Adventure Opener event. As is always the case with PICL Adventure, ride groups will be encouraged to “challenge by choice.”

The goal is fun, skill-building, friendships, and memories!
