Several of us at Greenville Fitness & Rehab are passionate bicyclists, and we believe in sharing this passion with others. One of the ways Sam and Elisa are sharing their passion for riding is through the development of a local middle school and high school NICA mountain bike team. The National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) is a national sanctioning organization that provides services and governance for regional leagues to produce quality mountain bike events for students.

Sam and Elisa are coaches for the Upstate Shredders Composite mountain bike team located in Greenville. Through the team they are helping our local student athletes develop a strong body, strong mind and strong character through mountain biking. Practices are held 3 days a week from July-November, and the student athletes are eligible to compete in 5-6 NICA races every fall. If you’d like to know more about how you too can participate this student program as a coach or athlete, visit NationalMTB.org for more information.
