Coming off a great first term Junior Development series, USA Cycling, the national governing body for the sport of cycling in the United States, in conjunction with the American Bicycle Association (ABA), is proud to announce the continued excitement of the USA Cycling BMX Junior Development Series for the 2010 season. The series will consist of USA Cycling branded events at all ABA sanctioned BMX tracks and ABA National Series events in 2010.
The series will qualify riders to participate in USA Cycling high performance training camps at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. There will be four camps per year, and qualified riders will have opportunities to train with Olympic athletes on the Beijing Olympic replica track and the new ABA sanctioned track, which will replicate the 2010 UCI World Championship track. These athletes will also receive instruction in nutrition, strength training and recovery.
This level of training is becoming more and more essential for
athletes to compete at the Olympic or UCI Supercross level and for a rider to reach his or her full potential.The ABA, with 30 plus years of experience in BMX programming, has proven to be an invaluable partner in helping to create this series. The organization will facilitate all points tabulations and event logistics at all national and local series events.
The 2010 Junior Development Series kicks off at ABA's up coming Golden State Nationals in Lancaster, Ca. on October 16th-18th.
The next stop for the series will be the ABA's Disney Cup in Orlando, FL. on October 30th- November 1st.
Then on to the ABA BMX Race of Champions event in conjunction with the ABA Grands on November, 27th.
2010 Camp dates to be released very soon!
