As the proud coach of the Hamden Cheshire Rail Trailers, I have witnessed the wonderful benefits that riding a bike provides to young kids and teenagers. The Connecticut Cycling Advancement Program (CCAP) makes this possible on a remarkable scale that is unique in the country. We need to support it so that this can continue! Here are just a few ways that the CCAP is making a difference:
First and foremost, the CCAP is a catalyst for creating a strong sense of community. This program cultivates a powerful feeling of belonging by bringing young riders and their families together on teams. This support network plays a vital role in the overall development and enjoyment of the sport, fostering lasting friendships and a shared passion for cycling.
One of the most significant ways the CCAP empowers coaches is through its efficient administrative processes. By streamlining administrative tasks, the program allows coaches to devote their valuable time and energy to what they do best: coaching. With this burden lifted, coaches can provide even better guidance, mentorship, and instruction to their young athletes, ensuring they receive the best possible training and support.
Through its fair administration of events and series, the CCAP offers young cyclists a platform to pursue and achieve their cycling goals. This structured approach fuels their motivation, promotes healthy competition, and encourages continuous personal growth. By striving for excellence within a supportive framework, these young riders develop not only as athletes but also as well-rounded individuals.
Moreover, the CCAP's impact extends far beyond individual riders. Its events benefit the whole cycling community by promoting a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. By creating an environment that embraces diversity and camaraderie, the CCAP is building a solid foundation for the future of cycling in our region. With your support, we can elevate the entire community and pave the way for a stronger, more vibrant cycling culture.

Your support helps us get thousands more kids on bikes, opening up a world of possibilities and empowering them through the sport of cycling. Together, we can make an incredible impact on the lives of thousands of young people.
