We welcome riders aged 8-18 at this time.

Not necessarily. If your rider can independently pedal a bike without training wheels and meets the age requirement, there is a group for them!!

The cost of a 2024 Devo membership is $300, and that includes:

• Small Group coaching from April to November

• Kit Store credit for one complete kit (jersey and bibs)

• Custom team water bottle

• Personalized stickers for helmets, bikes, etc.

• Full track access (practices and races) at the Major Taylor Velodrome

• Rental bike to ride on the track

• One free mountain bike race registration - DINO - Brown County

• One free cyclocross race registration - Devo Cross - ICX

• National Championship race registrations

• Race day support

• Some access to team cyclocross bikes

• Team discount at BGI (30% off accessory items, 15% off bikes)

• Volunteer coaches will receive opportunities for CPR, First Aid, and Concussion training sessions.

• Team gatherings (Mountain bike camp, social rides, etc.)

Midwest Devo strives to keep a low program cost because we know cycling can be expensive. If you fully immerse yourself, the $300 team membership fee value, if you fully immerse yourself, is truly a $700+ value, not including the small group coaching.

Thursday from 6:00-7:30 p.m. is team practice in varying locations, depending on the season and weather.

Wednesday from 6:00-7:30 p.m. is Junior Track Night at the Major Taylor Velodrome, which is included with team membership.

We hope they can, but it is not required, and we do not take attendance. Many riders who play other sports join when they can!

From our experience, joining as many practices as possible helps them feel connected with others and more confident in their riding.

There is no mandatory requirement for Midwest Devo riders to race their bikes.

However, we encourage all of our riders to TRY EVERYTHING. Racing, mountain bikes, track cycling, cyclocross, etc. Ultimately, about half of our team is dedicated to racing regularly. We want riders to stretch their comfort zones and try new things. We’re always there to support the process.

Yes!

We want to make sure that any kid that wants to be involved has the opportunity. Please email us at midwestdevotreasurer@gmail.com

You only need a basic mountain bike with brakes and a few working gears to start. Without that, your kid will struggle to enjoy riding.

The good news is that you can ride this for cyclocross. And if your kid is interested in riding on the track, a bike rental is included in your fees.

We have a small fleet of cyclocross-specific bikes for the youngest and smallest kids for the cyclocross season since these bikes can be hard to find. After your first year, we ask that you begin to search for a bike of your own so that the bikes can be used for new kids coming into the program.

We currently do not have mountain bikes for the kids to borrow. Our coaches can help you figure out how to purchase a used one, or our friends Bicycle Garage Indy will be happy to assist you with finding the right bike for your kid and budget.
