CAMP INFORMATION: The purpose behind the USACycling Regional Development Camps is multi-faceted. First and foremost it provides a development opportunity for our younger riders. Over the course of the six day camp, participants will practice skills that are specific to the camp discipline, enjoy informational discussions about nutrition, bike mechanics, and training, and take part in standardized field testing that is consistent with all of the endurance-based camps. The camp is open to any rider ages 14 - 22 yrs old who is physically able to ride some great roads in the Willamette Valley and compete under race situations. A current 2010 USAC License is required. The is not a camp for those who might be interested in beginning the sport. A little previous race experience is good, and the ability to complete rides on consecutive days with the groups is needed. This is not to scare anyone off, do know that we have many beginner level athletes that do just fine at the camp. USAC suggest having particpated in ten races prior to camp. Collegiate athletes are encouraged to attend also, and do not need to meet any qualification criteria other than being a USAC member with the physical ability to race.
