This is an introduction to structured cycling and general fitness training. It is not intended that other approaches or activities cannot be incorporated into this program. This program is also designed for beginner cyclists and base level to sport riders. Elite junior cyclist riding at the CAT 1/2 level would not necessarily benefit from this training program.

BuildingChampionCyclistsFl.net is providing this to assist anyone that does not have access to someone with the experience to provide coaching or training guidance. Select members of BCC have agreed to assist with weekly consultations should you contact them directly or coordinate with this program for someone to assist with any questions or guidance concerning your individual needs. Feel free to pick your own mentor to discuss this program and feel free to incorporate other exercises or cycling approaches.

This program is also intended to be manageable by the average junior athlete. Should your situation not allow for riding a bike on trails or on the roads in your neighborhood there are other viable options:

From the Central Florida Newsletter

The Florida Velo Junior development team has been invited to participate in the Tour of the Red River Gorge Invitational July 14 though 17 in Lexingtton, Kentucky, and the Tour de l'Abitibi on July 21 through 26 in Val d"Or, Canada. Team director/manager Henry Willis says, "These two UCI races, along with the 50th Fitchburg Longsjo Classic the first week of July and the USA Cycling Junior, U23 & Elite Road National Championships the last week of July make for a full month of racing at the highest level for our nine man squad. Teams of six riders will be selected to race at each destination except Nationals which is individual competition. Florida Velo Junior Devo is a team comprised of some of the VERY BEST 17-18 year old juniors in the Southeast: AJ Meyer, Ty Magner, Will Willis, Craig Creeden, Mike Stone, Jake Arnold, Steve Rusnak, Alex Spook and John “Mato”Zuluaga. These young men were selected because they are exceptional riders and because they possess the exceptional character that Florida Velo Junior Devo believes should be the hallmark of all cyclists."
The team is funded by the riders and donations from the community and needs your support. Henry commented, "We still need to raise $4000.00 to make this summer of championship racing possible for these juniors." If you are able to contribute or know someone who can please contact Henry at 321 332 3492 or 3021 Peel Avenue, Orlando, FL 32806.
