Finally 2010 has arrived and the race season is only a few months away. All of the RPM Riders are busy training, immersed in a stringent program that involves strength training, skill work, and logging a few miles to get some muscular endurance into the legs for those long training days at courses like Angel Fire, Keystone, and Snowmass. It is our ambition at RPM to qualify a rider for the 2010 Junior World Championship team. Our schedule is going to be a busy one starting in February at Bootleg and Fontana, then we'll regroup back in Colorado to work on our skill work including turning, braking, body position and gate starts. We are planning an early season XC race in Fruita at the Rabbit Valley Rally, just for training and good fun! We will then dive into the Mountain States Cup Series here in Colorado with Chalk Creek, Angel Fire, Crested Butte, Snowmass, the National Championships in Granby at the incredibly well designed SolVista Bike Park tracks. Then with great anticipation we look forward to the return of both Telluride and Keystone. After a couple weeks off we will head to the MSC series gravity finals in Winter Park, Colorado. 2010 looks to be an exciting season for both racing and having fun on our sweet YETIs. Keep in touch to this website for bi monthly updates as to the progress of the RPM YETI Developmental Race Program. |

Crested Butte this year was phenomenal. It is one of my favorite races every year because of the venue. It has breath taking views, amazing weather, and a cool little town. After a long off season, It felt great to be at a race again. |
