We are looking forward to the return of cyclocross racing this fall at the local, regional and national level. Lead by head coach Bill Warburton, the CX Team prepares juniors for a successful season whether they stay in Bend, travel to OBRA events or want to podium at Nationals.

Nov 9, 16, 23 time TBD based on daylight and schedule of riders
Weekends:

Some bonus training rides
Possible trips to regional or National events with a minimum of 4 riders
Otherwise use the training plan to know what to do
Extended Season Practice Schedule:
If riders continue past Thanksgiving Break to Nationals we will offer an extended training plan, strength and group ride plan.
Because Nationals are on the East Coast this year the group may be small, so we will decide as we get closer.
Tentative Team Race Schedule: local, day trip or overnighters, each trip depends on actual interest / rsvps. Local races are good for training but we encourage riders to do the OBRA races outside Bend to have a better sense of the cyclocross scene and regional / national events become important as riders seek UCI points or USAC rankings.
Events in red are included in tuition for riders to take the team van to the event.
