DIRT TEAM

We are proud to offer training and coaching for enduro, cross country and cyclocross racing for kids and youth, in order for participants to race in the Island Cup Series, other local races and Cross on the Rock Series.

​

How will the rides differ from our normal programs?  First off, rides will be a bit longer - at least 2+ hours as the weather improves. We will be doing some more specific advanced skill work, such as cornering drills, learning how to pick the fastest lines, smooth technical riding, and video analysis of each rider.

We will also be doing some simulated racing with timed sections.  There will be more climbing (which allows us to do more downhill!), and we will do interval training, which involves repeating some fast riding with rest periods in between. Fitness development is important - all Enduro and Downhill racers have a major component of fitness training in their schedules.

DEVELOPMENT GROUP

Due to the interest in our Race Team by younger riders, we will add a Development group component to the team.  This Development group will participate in the same camps and weekly Sunday rides but we will split into ride level groups.  Interested riders must already ride with one of our Dirt Groms groups or demonstrate similar levels.  This group is for those that show a strong dedication to their riding and would be  interested in racing now or in the near future.  Bike Requirements:  Full suspension or hardtail with a dropper post. If you are unsure if your child or youth would be a good fit, please check with Michele or Alan.
