  • Camping at Alpenrose! (For juniors 13-18 years old)
Who?
  • Riders: Any junior rider that has an OBRA license.
  • Experience: No previous track experience is needed — that’s why we’re doing this.
  • Coaches: OBRA track coaches, including coaches from many of our junior programs.
  • 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 Oregon and Washington teams.
  • You’ll get a chance to step outside your comfort zones and push yourselves physically and mentally through a series of awesome adventures.
  • A lot of off-the-bike time with other juniors to socialize and have fun.
