The 2008 Alison Dunlap Junior Olympic Mountain Bike Series (ADJOMTB) Calendar will consist of 35 races across 17 states in the US, an increase of more than 20 events over the 2007 calendar.
Entering its ninth year, the series was created by USA Cycling to provide racing opportunities for aspiring junior mountain bike athletes across the country. In 2003, world and national champion off-road cyclist Alison Dunlap endorsed the program, and she's been involved ever since.
Rider who do well in the series may earn invitation to USA Cycling Regional Development Camps as well as the national championships. In 2008, invitations to the regional development camps will be extended to the series' top-five riders in the 15-16, 17-18 and 19-22 age categories. The top riders from each regional camp will be invited to a Junior and Espoir National Development Camp. Most events will include age categories for boys and girls 10 years-old and younger through the under 22 age group.
