RACE PREP & SUPPORT PROGRAM

THE PROGRAM

Designed for riders and families who cannot commit to season long sessions in Whistler, but still wish to have coach support at races through the summer. Riders would be offered the same support at 3 provincial races the Dunbar series, Crankworx and with 2 spring training camps instead of weekly training sessions.

THE COACHING

What sets ZEP apart from the rest? Our coaches, plain and simple. This program is coached by the best in the business; fully certified PMBIA Level 4 Skills Coaches and PMBIA Course Conductors - those who train and certify other coaches. Along with their own racing experience and many years of riding and coaching around the globe, ZEP’s coaches will ensure you or your athlete will have an incredible season on the bike.

Coaching will be divided between:

  • 2 Spring 2 Day Training Camps
  • Dunbar Race series - 3 races
  • 3 Race Weekends with coaching and support as part of the ZEP Race Team*
  • Crankworx Event support

Our coaches will implement two 2-day coaching camps, designed to work on a mix of skill based, physical and tactical aspects of riding and racing. It is our aim after the four days to provide each rider qualities to focus on before meeting back up at the races. This program will suit self-motivated riders, excited to take away what they learn and practice before heading out to events.

Once at the races, participants will have the support of our coaches. From track walk discussions, practice advice and feedback, to race run warm up and starts we’ll be there to support the riders needs. With this race support, we’ll also provide a pit space to help with any mechanical issues that may arise and provide a spot to rest between sessions.
