#CROSSISCOMING
Junior Racers age 13-18 are invited to join us for our Bend Endurance Academy Cyclocross Camp in Hood River August 11 – 14. We will focus on teamwork, skills, and techniques while reinforcing proper movement, discussing important topics in the classroom, and exploring the area on some long base-building group rides.
