GENERAL TEAM INFO
- Team HRJC is a coached cross country mountain bike cycling team program for riders from 11 to 18 years old (6th-12th grade in the fall of 2023). The team is focused on having fun, improving cycling skills, building community, and growing through competition in a sport that can be done for life!
- While racing is not required, most riders will choose to race several times per year. Team HRJC will provide race support at some races each season to be determined each spring as races are confirmed. Team members may also go to other races with teammates or on their own throughout the season.
- All coaches are certified, HRJC trained, background checked, First Aid, CPR, SafeSport and Concussions in order to work with youth and elite athletes.
- All Team HRJC riders receive a team jersey, free USA Cycling membership, and discounts from our sponsor partners. All race registration fees, travel, and personal equipment costs are not included in the team fees. All riders must have a mountain bike in good working order with disc brakes, tires suitable for the trail, a certified helmet, cycling gloves, and weather appropriate cycling clothing. We ride rain (snow?) or shine!
- Other non-cycling sport participation is encouraged so that athletes avoid single sport specialization burn-out and develop complimentary athletic abilities. School based team sports or Highlands Ranch Community Association sport classes and leagues are ideal. Strength training classes and stretching / yoga are also highly recommended through our partners at Manic and Physio Room.
