This year, team has already earned numerous podiums and set a new record for team participation as 52 BCS riders toed the line for the September 24 Boulder Cyclocross Series race.
Heading the program are BCS Cyclocross Ambassadors, who bring over 50 combined years of racing experience to promote and share the sport of cyclocross to grassroots riders of all age and ability. The Ambassador Team leads free skills clinics, seminars, volunteer trailwork sessions, group rides, and junior coaching. Last season, the program included nearly 20 events and helped more than 200 cyclists improve their cyclocross riding. The BCS Ambassadors will provide free weekly clinics every Wednesday from 5:30 – 7:00pm, September 1 through October 12.
