Juniors

• The Team TATI juniors program was officially launched this week. If you are girl or boy between the ages of 10 and 17, and would like to learn more about competitive cycling, please email team@taticycles.com.

  Events
  In our first season, the juniors team will focus primarily on preparation for and completion of the South Shore Triathlon on August 2. Depending on interest and fitness levels, juniors are welcome to enter road races and time trials once they are properly trained in rider etiquette and safety. Team members race in the Chicagoland almost every weekend throughout the summer and into the early Autumn. Juniors are also welcome to join the elite/masters riders at races to learn and understand what real racing is all about. (We will be racing in downtown Chicago in Grant Park for the inaugural Chicago Criterium on July 27th.)

  Uniforms/Equipment
  

  • A functioning bicycle

  • Gloves

  Services
  As a member of Team TATI, all juniors will receive free basic maintenance on their bicycles as well as fitting/ergonomic sessions. Juniors will also receive weekly coaching sessions and drills, and the broad support/mentoring from the elite and masters racers. Juniors will also be instructed in basic bicycle maintenance and should be able to clean, and lube their bicycles and fix flat tires.
