Lost in the Woods Mountain Biking (LITW MTB) is a Central Ohio–based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to youth development through mountain biking.

Our organization supports five teams within the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA), open to students in grades 6–12, who participate in the Ohio Mountain Bike League.

Our student-athletes range from State Champions to brand-new mountain bikers — and all are welcome.

While participation in race events is encouraged, racing is never required. There are no cuts and no bench. Everyone rides, regardless of ability level.

During our inaugural 2021 season, we supported 38 student-athletes and 18 volunteer coaches.  We now support more than 200 student athletes, coaches and volunteers across Central Ohio.

In 2023, we expanded our mission by launching Lost in the Woods Racing, an independent club team providing experienced youth and adults the opportunity to ride and race together in regional and national events across multiple cycling disciplines.

In 2026, we further expanded our mission by launching Females Lost in Cycling (FLiC), focused on creating more opportunities for girls and women of all ages to engage together through cycling.
