ChrisF Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Our 2019 goals is getting a U/20 squad going with a bit of sponsorship for road events. Worth noting that there is talk amongst the MTB big-wigs of removing "racing" from the "primary school" kids - certainly NOT the exact jargon used by the experts ! Fun rides - YES Group rides - YES But not timed, and certainly no incentive to push a 7 year old to do hours of training - while they are still developing bone structure ...yada yada .... So "racing" may in future be for "teenagers and up" (again my interpretation of what I hear) .... DOES seem to fit in with your goal of an under 20 group of young racers\riders .... I am certainly open for comments on this topic, and would appreciate input from those that have more knowledge on this topic. With a 7 year old who currently rides "mid-pack" we are obviously evaluating our options ..... was leaning towards mixing pleasure rides with bits of strength\speed training .... now thinking of just sticking with riding and basic skills training for the next year or two - build the muscle memory, and the correct technique .... slowly increase the distances. KEEP IT FUN, time will tell if he is a "racer" in the making .... he certainly does like to chase down somebody in the distance, though the speed and stamina is not there, not yet...
