The group contends inside the cross country National Interscholastic Cycling Association, and it started out in 2018 after NICA began the drive to make a group in Hot Springs. 

"We definitely needed to have a chance for the children to have a nearer group than Conway or Fort Smith," previous lead trainer and presently group board part Jona Parker said. "So we began our own group here." 

Being an under the radar sport, Parker said it has been a test to get understudies to join the Thoroughbreds on occasion. Parker even talked at Hot Springs High School to attempt to select more individuals to the group. 

While outreach has been a test, Parker said that group chief Briana Moore and right hand lead trainer Adam Moore have great plans going ahead on the most proficient method to carry more individuals to the group.

In spite of the fact that mountain trekking may appear to be an overwhelming assignment, the group takes understudy competitors of any expertise and capacity. During the Thoroughbreds' latest season, a few individuals in the group were novice riders with no related knowledge by any means. 

The group rehearsed double seven days at Northwoods and Cedar Glades County Park last season as individuals kept on improving consistently. 

"It's really astounding to see understudies that are not extremely sure with their riding capacity progress where they need to race with different understudies, and they're prepared to handle that," Briana Moore said. "It's really significant. We get loads of understudies that truly don't have the foggiest idea how to ride a bicycle securely on the path, and they end up very advancing. You don't must have any experience to join the group. Everyone rides. There's no tryouts." 

To begin the season, each individual from the group goes through a NICA abilities course, regardless of their expertise level. 

Parker added that understudies don't need to observe themselves to be athletic to join the Thoroughbreds. 

"I feel that the two words 'mountain trekking' are scaring for certain individuals," Parker said. "We in a real sense show them the basics, the fundamentals. We don't get out on the path until they have every one of the abilities that they need to do that. Anybody can do this." 

The preseason for NICA groups begins in April, and the training season begins in July. 

The NICA race season extends from September to early November, and this year, the group contended at races in Fort Smith, Mountain Home, Rogers and Fayetteville. 

"They were stunning creations," Adam Moore said. "There are 500 to 600 racers there from every one of the schools all around the state, and they truly cause it to appear to be an immense expert level race." 

He added that the Thoroughbreds had a great deal of accomplishment this previous season. Going into the season, one competitor didn't have a lot trekking experience by any means, even in a carport or a yard.
