National Series & Calendars Overview
USA Cycling works with race directors from across the country to create various calendars and series that feature bike racing across several disciplines and ability levels.
ROAD DEVELOPMENT RACE SERIES
The USA Cycling Road Development Race Series has provided opportunities for aspiring junior riders across the United States for more than 20 years. Through the cooperation and hard work of event organizers, the program has evolved into a nationally-recognized calendar that encourages junior and espoir-aged racing while identifying potential talent for our regional talent ID camps and national development program.


MOUNTAIN BIKE DEVELOPMENT RACE SERIES
The USA Cycling Mountain Bike Development Race Series has been in existence under different series and calendars since 2000. Formerly known as the Alison Dunlap Junior Race Series and currently a part of the American Mountain Bike Challenge, this program has provided mountain bike racing opportunities for aspiring junior males and females across the United States.
Track Development Race Series
Designed as a compliment to the Olympic Development Program (ODP), the Track Development Race Series (TDRS) brings top junior national level racing to tracks across the nation providing both high level competition and chances for ODP program identification throughout the year.

Series winners are granted invitations to the fall ODP selection camp each year.
