Women’s Track Camp

As part of its continued efforts to strengthen its women’s track cycling program, the Canadian Cycling Association is holding a women’s training camp in Burnaby, BC. This training camp and talent identification session runs from July 13 – 15. This camp is scheduled between the BC Superweek races and follows a similar women’s camp in London, ON from July 9 – 11.

This camp is open to all junior and elite athletes – no previous track experience is required. The camp has two aims:
– to identify talent new to track cycling from either other cycling sports (BMX, road, mountain, cyclocross) or other sports
(speed skating, XC skiing, ice hockey etc.)
– to provide a structured training camp for those with current track proficiency

This camp will include up to three hours of track time per day on July 13, 14, and 15, with several
coaches overseeing both new riders and riders with current track experience. For riders with current track experience the camp will consist of a daily workout as well as some benchmark time/distance standard field testing. For riders new to the track camp will consist of learning to ride the track as well as some benchmark time/distance standard field testing and possible
integration into first stream pending competency. Bike can be provided to riders without their own.

Interested athletes should contact Petrina Tulissi (track@canadiancycling.com) no later than Monday June 22, 2010.
