COG WILD ANNOUNCES YOUTH AND JUNIOR CYCLING PROGRAMS

Cascadia Junior Cycling nurtures young riders in a supportive environment to improve their skills while working together as a team through bike adventures led by experienced coaches and caring mentors.

BEND, OREGON, MARCH 9, 2020: Cog Wild Bicycle Tours is proud to announce a collection of new initiatives to support junior cyclists called Cascadia Junior Cycling (CJC). CJC helps young cyclists develop trail etiquette, skills proficiency, stay safe, and have fun riding the trails with friends and family. Youth rides begin on April 6th and continue into October.

“We launched Cascadia Junior Cycling last fall with our cyclocross team, which supported almost twenty athletes at their national championship in December,” says Lev Stryker, owner of Cog Wild. “This spring is the natural time to expand our standard services, guided tours and skills instruction from adults to all ages so we meet the needs of the kids who are eager to ride or race.” 

Cog Wild has a strong reputation for delivering well organized and fun biking adventures for adults, local schools, nonprofits like the Boys & Girls Club of Central Oregon, and national travel camps such as Adventure Treks. In their effort to support the continued growth of off-road cycling in Bend, they have hired two experienced and respected coaches to lead the CJC: Bill Warburton and Caleb Brackett. 

Coach Warburton has been supporting Bend’s junior cyclists since 2005 and was a co-founder of the Bend Endurance Academy. Coach Brackett served in the Air Force and was the founder & director of Guided Path Adventures, a non-profit that facilitates outdoor opportunities for underserved families, veterans and children in St. Louis, MO.

Cascadia Junior Cycling 2020 Highlights:

  • Flexible scheduling
  • After school rides for ages 7+
  • Summer Rides for ages 6+ and 4-Day Skills Camps
