LB Race Program

Accepting Challenge. Taking on Mountains.

 

LB Race is the next level of the Little Bellas after the Little Bellaship with a specific focus on competition but also maintaining the level of enjoyment and fun. LB Race is also for athletes not involved with the Little Bellas looking to become involved in mountain bike competition or improve their racing. It’s an intimate group with the unique opportunity to learn how to race mountain bike’s from two of the top professional female mountain bikers in the country, Lea and Sabra Davison.  Other elite cyclists Sarah Schrieb and Ilke Van Genenchten will join the dynamic sister coaching team for the summer. LB Race will:

•     Meet every Wednesday evening from mid June to the end of August. 
•     Two Wednesday night meetings per month LB Race will be participating in the Catamount Wednesday night races.  This provides the athletes with valuable race practice.
•     LB Race will participate in three races over the course of the summer.
•     The curriculum will be individually tuned to address athlete’s strengths, weaknesses, goals, and individual needs.
•     The topics covered over the course of the summer will include race preparation, basic training, pacing, nutrition (pre and post race, training), mental toughness, visualization, and specific skill improvement (descending, ‘seeing’ a line, climbing, dynamic).
