2022 Fall Season News

We are pleased to announce details for the 2022 fall season.

Registration for fall programs opens Monday, July 18, 7:00 a.m. on the BJC website. We expect all programs to fill quickly.

If you have any questions about programs or registration, please contact us ASAP, do not wait for registration to open or it may be too late. Please study the details about each individual program before you sign up.

Summer Break: We strongly recommend BJC athletes take at least 2-3 weeks off the bike this summer. It’s critical that you put the bike away for a mental and physical rest break before starting the fall season. During the month of August, BJC slows down and our staff go on vacation to recharge and prepare for an awesome fall season!

REMINDER OF DEVO MTB BIKE REQUIREMENTS: BJC has the following minimum bike requirements to participate in the Devo MTB program:

-A proper MTB with disc brakes

-Wheel size 26” or greater (unless approved by Lester)

-Tires of 2.0” or wider

-Front suspension

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE: We strongly encourage families to contact us about assistance paying for program fees, equipment costs, clothing costs, and racing costs. Finances should never be a reason a family can’t join our team! BJC has a scholarship fund set aside for this purpose, and we are honored to provide nearly $20,000 in financial scholarships and equipment every year. While some BJC programs sell out very quickly, we always hold spots open for those kids who might be a scholarship candidate. You won’t lose your spot on the team! We look forward to all inquiries. Applications are welcome anytime, but we prefer to receive them at least a month in advance of the program start date if possible. Please contact Executive Director Pete Webber.

Policy on Group Requests: Please do not send requests to be in a certain group. No exceptions. Please do not register if participation is contingent on your rider being in a certain group.

Policy on Carpool Requests: We can’t guarantee that carpool requests will be met. When each season begins, participants are assigned to groups that meet at different rotating locations across Boulder County. When forming these groups we will attempt to meet carpool requests made during the registration process, but it’s impossible for BJC to meet all carpool requests. Please do not register if your participation is contingent on a specific carpool.
