CAMP INFORMATION:
The purpose behind the USA Cycling 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 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 participated 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.

- Female and Male cyclists, Juniors aged 14­18, and Seniors age 19­22
