Enrollment is now open!

With the warm weather and bike season quickly approaching, enrollment for the MBSEF summer cycling program is now open!

More information, enrollment forms and program schedules are available on the MBSEF cycling home page.

This year we are offering mountain programs for ages 8-18, and road biking programs for ages 12-18. Cycling is a fun way for our athletes to maintain and build their strength and fitness after the snow disappears. We are offering 4 different sessions, running May through August; session 1 begins May 3rd. Each session runs for three weeks and culminates with a day-ling adventure ride. There will also be racing opportunities for interested riders. Loaner bikes are available, please contact MBSEF for more details.

New for 2010...

Flexible Days: In and effort to accomodate busy schedules will be offering flexible-day options. For our mountain bike program chose from 2 or 3-day per week options. The road program has 3 or 4-day per week options.

Overnight Adventure Camps: There is so much fantastic riding a short drive from Bend and we want our riders to experience it! Trip will go to places such as Oakridge and the Waldo Lake area and will include camping out overnight. More details and trip costs will be posted on the cycling website and on this blog shortly.

Junior Coaches: MBSEF is excited to offer a junior coaching internship. Riders aged 14-18 will have an opportunity to act as junior coaches for our mountain biking program. As a junior coach they will assist our coaches with the younger riders one day per week, and participate as athletes that remaining program days. Junior Coaches will serve as role models and "big brothers and big sisters" to our younger athletes at practice, adventure days and races. Interested athletes should contact Taylor Leach at taylor.leach@gmail.com for more information. Junior coaches will be limited to 2 per session.
