December 6/09 10:52 am - Cycling BC Winter Youth Camp

Posted by Editoress on 12/6/09
 

Cycling BC will be holding a Youth Cycling Camp at the Burnaby velodrome on December 27-29. The Camp will be led by Cycling BC Youth Coach Jeff Ain. It will consist of two velodrome sessions, one outdoor skills session, and one in-class session. The goals of the camp are to give Under 19 riders coach-led sessions to provide knowledge and skills about cycling and racing, and to have fun! It is a day camp, so riders are responsible for their own food, transportation and lodging. Please show up 20-30 minutes before each session to make sure you and your equipment are ready on time.
