Summer Cycling Program 2009

Call your friends, get out your bikes and let's ride!

The MBSEF Summer Cycling Program is designed for any Central Oregon teen, our winter athletes (alpine, cross country, snowboard) and their friends who have the desire to improve their cycling skills, improve their strength and fitness, and have a great time. We encourage all of the riders to enter some races and will focus on preparing them to enjoy the competition. Again this year we will offer both mountain bike riding and road bike riding.

Cycling is a lifetime sport, and the exciting part of the MBSEF Summer Cycling Program is introducing young mountain and road cyclists to a team atmosphere where they can improve their cycling skills and fitness levels. The Summer Cycling Program also exposes young riders to a community where coaches, parents and community members are excited about developing, promoting and living a cycling lifestyle. Coaching positions are available for 2009. If you wish to be a road or mountain bike coach for the summer, please send your resume to mbsef@mbsef.org.  There will be a coaches meeting Wednesday April 15 at 7pm at the MBSEF office.
