Front Rangers Cycling Club - 2024 Summer Program



2024 Summer Program

The Front Rangers Cycling Club (FRCC) is offering an 9-week summer road and gravel bike cycling program for all interested youth, grades 7-12. The core of this program will be twice weekly practice sessions, starting from a diverse mix of south and central Metro Denver locations. See below for specific dates/times and a sampling of practice start locations. These training sessions will be lead by our Head Coach Kathy Zawadzki, USA Cycling Level 1 Coach and Owner of The FAST Lab in Greenwood Village. Kathy will be assisted by our staff of experienced paid and volunteer coaches. In addition to our weekday practice sessions, we'll be offering three longer weekend training rides, and we'll be attending three weekend organized races, all supported by our coaching staff. And as we've done for many years, some of our athletes will be competing in the Peak to Peak Mid-Week Race Series at South Table Mountain. Lastly, we ask that all registered athletes commit to one of three volunteer opportunities (listed on schedule below).


Weekday Training Sessions - Dates/Times, Locations



Weekday practice sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 6th--August 8th, from 9:30-11:30 AM (no practice during week of July 4th holiday). We'll be using a variety of practice start locations in the south and central Metro Denver areas. Practice locations will include, among others: Village Greens Park, Goodson Recreation Center, Carson Nature Center, Washington Park, and REI Downtown/Fishback Park.


Weekend Ride/Race/Event Schedule



June 1st (Saturday) - City Park Criterium - racing opportunity + volunteer opportunity (NO FRCC COACHING/TEAM SUPPORT)

June 2nd (Sunday) - Bicycle Colorado's Beginner Drop-Bar Bike Safety and Road Racing Clinic, featuring former national champion, Olympic medalist, and Giro d'Italia stage winner Ron Kiefel (Day One)

Registration Fees

Athletes can register for one or two practice sessions per week. We've priced the two-days-per-week option very attractively for those that can fit both of these days into their weekly schedule. Athletes choosing to register for the one-day-a-week option can join us whichever day works best for them for any given week, and can join us two times in one week to make up for missed practices.

Cost is $350 for the one day per week option, $450 for the two days per week option. Regardless of which registration option is selected, coaching and team support are included for all registrants for all targeted weekend training rides and races/events.

Financial Assistance

It is our mission to get more youth interested and involved in cycling, especially those from traditionally underrepresented communities. The Front Rangers Cycling Club provides financial assistance to cover up to 100% of the cost to register for our programs. If finances are a barrier for your family, please send an email to [email protected] with just these words in the subject line: FRCC Financial Assistance 24 Summer, and instructions for how to access scholarship support will be emailed back to you right away (there's no need to include a message in the body of your email to us). You can then proceed with registration.

Registration Tips

Near the start of the registration process, you'll be asked to enter your contact info, including name and email address. On the next screen you'll enter participant details, and the registration software will have auto-filled your name and email address for the first participant, even though you might be registering your children, for instance, and are not a participant yourself. If need be, just overwrite the name and email address fields with the correct info.
