Cascadia Junior Cycling

CJC is for youth & juniors who love to ride bikes!

Summer Camps & Teams begin June 19, sign up today!

Our mountain bike camps, clubs and race teams provide young riders incredible opportunities to improve their skills, build fitness, and have fun riding with their peers and mentors.

We have established an effective pipeline for riders to follow as they increase their ability and set bigger goals. Whether that goal is to ride a feature on a local trail or win a national championship race, our coaches work hard to prepare the riders and support their success.

Air Quality & Map

• If we cannot find a location with good air quality we will cancel practice.
• We use the AQI PM 2.5 micron 10-min average on PurpleAir to monitor conditions:
  • 0 – 100: practice will be on, and if smoke is present we will modify our location / duration / intensity
  • 101 – 149: with a trend / location / elevation / activity that indicates it is safe to ride then practice will be on.
  • +150 is considered unhealthy for all groups and practice will be cancelled
  • You will be alerted by email if we cancel more than 24 hours in advance, and we will also send a text message if we cancel within 24 hours.

My son really appreciates and values your coaching and his friendship with the kids on the team. We really appreciate that you have created this program and have worked hard to keep the kids riding.

How to select a Group

Many factors are often considered in this order:

• Age or Grade – social & peer groups are most important
• Maturity – emotional & physical capacity must match the peer group
• Ability – must allow for individual / group safety & enjoyment
• Experience – incoming riders should start with something easy and move up when coaches suggest it
• Chosen Discipline – a rider’s bike, gear and expectations should match the group’s intention. Read our descriptions and talk to the coaches to make sure your rider is well-prepared for the chosen group.

Our Coaches

Cascadia Junior Cycling is part of Cog Wild Bicycle Tours, located at the edge of the Deschutes National Forest at LOGE Camps in Bend, Oregon. Cog Wild & CJC acknowledge that we operate on the traditional territories of many native tribes who have lived in this region since time immemorial and are still here today, including tribes and individuals who are now associated with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Siletz and Grande Ronde. Learn more at Native-Land Digital.
