Bicycle Nova Scotia is committed to providing our the youth of our province with guidance, skill development and leadership to help prepare developing athletes for future provincial and national competitions.

The goal of the this development program is to bring athletes together in a team environment to acquire and perfect critical mountain biking skills. Athletes will be introduced to mountain bike training structure, have the opportunity to learn from our certified provincial coaches, socialize with other athletes, and train for a major event.
