A mountain bike league is forming in Northwest Ohio for junior high and high school students. Racing is expected to begin this fall.

The Ohio Mountain Bike League is part of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). NICA has over 20,000 student-athletes in 31 leagues all over the country. Its philosophy is that every kid gets to ride; no kids sit on the bench.

The Northwest Ohio team will be the Black Swamp Riders. There are two trails not far from Maumee, one at Oak Openings Metropark and one at Ottawa Park.
