The
Juniors are on a roll!
The 2009 cycling season has been underway for several
months. After a winter of indoor CompuTrainer training at
the Smart Cycling Bike Shop, our Junior team has headed out
into the real world for a season of racing. Here Bryan
Froehlicher checks out the competition as they get ready for
the 2009 Vernon Hills Grand Prix criterium.
While race official Dave talks to the younger athletes, Sam
Gabuzzi and Brian Arfmann (left) get ready for the start of
their 2009 Vernon Hills Grand Prix criterium. Sam, Brian and
teammate Emil Klosowiak have been working hard all spring.
The end of May means it is time for velodrome racing. Smart
Cycling coach Steve Thordarson helped the local juniors get
ready for track racing with an all day track clinic at the
Ed Rudolph velodrome in Northbrook, Illinois. Brian Arfmann
and teammate Meghan Lapeta lead the juniors around the track
for a warm-up.
Doug McLaren (in the Pepsi jersey) takes some time to give
championship advice to a few of the older Smart Cycling
Juniors.
Practice makes perfect!
In an effort to get the athletes better prepared for the
real racing, Kevin Perez puts the entire group through a
practice race. All the juniors were given the chance to work
on their sprinting skills, bike handling, tactics and some
of the other racing skills needed to have a successful
racing season on the track. The hard work paid off big for
first year racer Matt Meyer, who followed up the training
camp with a Gold and three silver medals at the Illinois
District Track Championships. Great job Matt!
Junior Racers Wanted!
