Cycling BC has partnered with Shimano Canada to offer an incredible off-road camp and clinic package this season - Junior DH Clinics, Junior XC Clinics, and Women's Skills Camps.
Junior Downhill and Cross-Country Clinics:
Junior DH and XC clinics will be run at four of the 2001 BC Cup sites. Participants will meet on the Friday night prior to the race weekend to discuss strategy, tactics, training, nutrition, responsible riding and general maintenance.
Participants in the downhill clinic will then be treated to technical skills training and coached practice runs on the downhill course on Saturday in preparation for the race on Sunday. Participants in the cross-country clinic will race on Saturday and benefit from technical skills training and race course review on Sunday.
The coaches for the program are second to none: Chris Colbeck, Sylvie Allen, Daamiann Skelton, Elladee Brown, Chad Miles and Dave Burch.
The cost per clinic, including lunch, is just $40. Participation is limited to 15 per downhill clinic and 20 per cross-country clinic, so if you are interested, please register soon. Call Cycling BC at 604-737-3034 or email office@cycling.bc.ca. Any questions, please just ask.
