We continue to offer year-round programming for over 60 cyclists of all ages and abilities ranging from youth development to national team and Olympic/Paralympic cyclists.
Top results include newly crowned World champion Mike Sametz in para-cycling men’s C3 and Sara Poidevin who won the U23 ITT Canadian Championships.
