The Valley Preferred Cycling Center

The USA Cycling Junior National Championships comes to Valley Preferred Cycling Center in Trexlertown this week.  

The four-day event features the best junior cyclists in the country, and gives our local talent a chance to cut their teeth on a national stage. 

A year ago, T-Town riders garnered an impressive six national championships and 31 medals. 

With this year’s event being held at Valley Preferred Cycling Center, one has to wonder, “Do our riders have a hometown advantage?”

The event kicks off bright and early on Thursday, July 8, with a morning session beginning at 9:00 a.m.  Click here for the full four-day schedule.

Now… without further ado, let’s meet our local riders:
