Junior Racer Benefits and Responsibilities

Includes Youth (ages 10-14), Juniors (ages 15-18), U23 (ages 19-23)

Proceeds from the Timpani Criterium, LGBRC's summer race, benefit junior racers and pay for the benefits they receive. Junior racers and their parents are expected to help put on this race, held the first or second weekend in August.

Membership Fees: Membership Fees for active racing Juniors and U23 (ages 19 - 23) are waived in LGBRC. We value our junior membership, as they represent the future of bicycle racing.

Clothing: Actively racing Juniors pay 50% of clothing costs; the balance is covered by the club.

Race Rewards: Juniors will receive reimbursement for participating in races. It is up to each junior to enter his/her race results through the year. Race rewards are compiled in December.

Special Event Reimbursement Fund Juniors and espoirs are elegible for SERF reimbursement.
