CCA Development Project for U23 MTB Riders
Courtesy CCA

With the two MTB World Cup events coming up in Canada next month, the CCA will be putting together a development opportunity for U23 riders to ride as members of the national team at the two events in Mont Ste Anne and Bromont. This project will serve for development athletes to get an introduction to racing at the international level while on home soil, this project will also serve as an introduction to the CCA for some of the athletes.

CCA will provide on-site logistical support as well as coaching support in the form of Sébastien Travers from the Bromont Cycling Center and possibly Nicholas Vipond from the CCA office.

Selection criteria as well as some of the logistics for the project (in english) Here (PDF)
