LARKSPUR CANYON DEVO
SCHEDULE

Our team schedule mimics that of the local high school schedules. Casual rides in the fall, training starting in the winter and races starting in late winter into spring. Our team goal is to build a strong foundation for the kids to build upon and be sure to not push them too hard, so our schedule will not be as aggressive as a high school team schedule. 

​

October & November: Casual Rides

Casual rides on Fridays at 3:30 PM, starting and ending in Larkspur with some car shuttles to other locations when possible.

​​​​

January - May: Training Rides

Training rides, skills session and educational sessions after school 2x per week, starting and ending in Larkspur. Some car shuttles to other locations when possible.

 

Training rides will be Mondays starting at 3:30 PM & Wednesdays starting at 2:00 PM January - May. Ride days may shift after daylight savings. 

​

Monday rides in January and February prior to the Daylight Savings shift in early March will be short and mixed with with skills workshops and educational sessions on nutrition, bike mechanics, training plans, etc. 

​

If you can ride on the weekends with friends and family safely, go for it!

FAQs

• Riders do NOT need to attend all races!

• Attendance at all NICA races is highly encouraged. This is a race team! Let's race! 

• NICA races are generally 1 - 3 hours away from Marin and require 1 night overnight. Some require camping. 

• Non-NICA races are more technical and dangerous than NICA races. The are very optional and not associated with our NICA rides. Some riders may not have the technical skills to safely compete and some parents may not want riders to do them and this is OK!​​​​
