USA Cycling would like to announce the 2008 Alison Dunlap Junior Olympic Mountain Bike Series Calendar. This year's calendar is comprised of 35 races across 17 states, an increase of more than 20 events over the 2007 calendar.
Entering its ninth year, the series was created by USA Cycling to provide racing opportunities for aspiring junior mountain bike athletes across the country. In 2003, multi World and National Champion mountain bike rider and cyclocrosser Alison Dunlap endorsed the program and has since helped the series reach new levels.
As part of USA Cycling's athlete development pipeline, the ADJOMTB Race Series gives young riders aged 15 to 22 the opportunity to enhance their athletic growth by earning invitations to USA Cycling Regional Development Camps as well as the 2008 U.S. Mountain Bike National Championships. In 2008, invitations to the regional development camps will be extended to the series' top-five riders in the 15-16, 17-18 and 19-22 age categories. The top riders from each regional camp will be invited to a Junior and Espoir National Development Camp.
Most all ADJOMTB Race Series events will include age categories for boys and girls 10-years-old and younger through the under 22 age group.
