2011 Junior Racing Team

San Jose Bicycle Club has always had a rich history of developing young riders, from the club's early days, through the glory years of the 70's and early 80's. Then SJBC's Junior team went into hibernation for almost 20 years, until Andrew Lanier, Mike Dodd, Gary Broeder, and Joe Farinha, brought their kids to a winter series event in 2004, and the rebirth of the junior team was on! Since then, we have increased the Junior Team from those original 4 to 30+ members today. We have had multiple team members win NCNCA District Championships in various disciplines and in different age groups. We have developed junior cyclists from Cat 5 to Cat 1 as juniors! In 2010, eleven juniors raced at Junior Nationals (Road and Track), and we accumulated a total of 8 Podium finishes. We are also very proud that two of our members were invited to participate at the famed Tour l'Abitibi in Canada, with one representing the US Junior National Team. Our mission is to create an environment where boys and girls reach to achieve their personal best through cycling and competitive sportsmanship.
