Who?
  • Riders: Any junior rider that has an OBRA license
  • Experience: No previous track experience is needed — that’s why we’re doing this.

  • Riders 10-12 years old are able to participate in the camp sessions and meals, but will not be able to participate in the overnight camping. Thank you for your understanding.
Why?
  • This trip will challenge you as a cyclist and open your eyes to new riding types you may not have done before.
  • You’ll learn from some great coaches and ride with other kids from OR and WA teams.
  • You’ll get a chance to step outside your comfort zones and push yourselves physically and mentally through a series of awesome adventures.
