Cycling Senior Team Cross Country (ages 14-18) NEW FORMAT

Cycling Senior Team Cross Country (XC) is for intermediate and expert-level high school-age athletes interested in competing and taking their cycling to the next level, riders who want to get ready for the high school MTB season, and those athletes looking to use riding as cross-training to gain endurance and strength for their winter sport. This program combines what was All Mountain Riding and Devo Team last year providing a larger training group that can be divided into groups by level. In addition to three group sessions per week in the summer, athletes will be provided with training plans for additional individual training sessions. The goals of the program are learning expert technical skills, progressively developing endurance and fitness, and learning how to plan training and pursue goals on and off the bike. Team members will have the opportunity to race in the Town Challenge MTB Series as well as other regional races, and while competition is encouraged, it is not required. Senior Team XC program includes strength training 8-9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
