25 Years! – The Treasure Valley’s first, and most experienced youth cycling program.
For 2 and 1/2 decades the B.Y.R.D.S. Cycling Program (Boise Young Rider Development Squad) has offered Treasure Valley youth access and support to participate in the sport of cycling. On an annual basis we lead daily rides, weekly camps and clinics in mountain biking, road biking, and cyclocross for kids starting as young as 6 years of age. Younger riders participating in the BYRDS spring and fall club rides are ‘trail-rides’ only, no road rides.
BYRDS is:
- Designed to introduce and support youth across the community (ages 6 to 18+) in the sport of cycling.
- Recreational for the young rider interested to be involved in cycling.
- Competitive for the young rider that wants to prepare, train, and race at the highest levels of the sport. For example, former BYRDS riders currently racing on the World Tour:
- Will Barta (Movistar)
- Matteo Jorgenson (Visma Lease a Bike)
- Competitive program is year-round
- A 501 (c) (3) non-profit supporting Treasure Valley kids
- Recognized by USA Cycling as a “Center of Excellence” as among the very best youth specific cycling programs in the USA.
- The most active youth specific cycling program in the USA with weekly activities in road cycling, mountain biking, and cyclocross.
- Designed for kids and families.
- At BYRDS… “no one sits on the bench!”
