Coaching and Race Support
Members of the team are given general training programs directed towards their areas of interest – road, mountain, cyclocross, or track. Regular rides and team activities are scheduled throughout the year. Riders wishing to have individualized training programs can do so through coaching services contracted with the team in the form of sponsorship. We provide professional and elite level coaching to correctly and efficiently develop riders. Coaches are present at races, training sessions and camps. For select races, we provide a full team “camp” environment with on-site mechanic support and a covered changing and warm-up area. Team pre-race and course re-con rides are lead by coaching staff and senior riders. During cyclocross season, a Rad pit mechanic is available during series races for both junior and senior category riders.

Mentorship
The staff of Rad Racing NW is comprised of experienced and dedicated adults who have a vision for working with youth in the area of cycling. Putting high quality adult role models in touch with our riders is the key to the success of our mission and vision.
In their “real lives,” Rad staff members are community leaders – firefighters, business professionals, technical specialists, and police officers.  As riders progress through our program, we encourage them to mentor younger teammates. Our elite juniors can be found helping with clinics and skills training sessions, leading course pre-rides, and serving as junior counselors at cycling camps. Once team members turn 19, we encourage them to train as coaches. This way they can continue to pass on their knowledge and skills. This benefits both sides; older members learn to be leaders and younger members receive the knowledge and support of mentors who were just like them not long ago.   

Friendship and Camaraderie
Great bonds between riders are formed through the program. Kids are able to find and share the common interest of bicycle racing with peers from their immediate area and from other parts of the region. This is especially evident on trips to races and at team gatherings. Kids learn to support, respect and rely on each other.

Travel Support
Through the generous support of sponsors and benefactors, Rad Racing NW is able to provide travel support to regional, national and international competition and regional and national level USA Cycling Development Camps. Coaching staff attend major races with the riders. Team staff provides coaching, logistical support and trip coordination.

Financial Assistance
Riders in need of financial support can apply for assistance though the “Rad Scholarships.” These funds can be used toward equipment, clothing, licenses, entry fees, camp fees and travel.
​
Bicycle Industry Sponsorship
Rad Racing NW enjoys generous long-term sponsorship relationships with some of the premier brands in the bicycle industry; this support is a key factor in achieving our mission.
