Canada: an ongoing quest for the next great cyclist.

UPS is an official sponsor of the Canadian Cycling Association in Mountain Bike Racing, Road Racing and Track cycling.

The best athletes from Canada will compete in the Sydney 2000 Games, but we're especially proud to help support the Canadian Cycling Association as they work year-round to pursue a dual mission: to do well at World Championships events, including the Olympic Games, and to constantly develop and support new athletes.

In Canada, new athletes compete at the National Championships each year. The National Championships determine which athletes will join the rigorous and prestigious Development Team.

The Development Team gives young riders access to more resources and training than they might otherwise have.

They get day-to-day coaching, a step-by-step approach, and a mix of training camps and specific, individualized training programs. The Development Team also helps young athletes plan each season, set objectives, observe and learn training methods, and develop optimal nutrition and health.

The National Team program represents the best of sport training, and the best of Canada's effort to be a strong contender in the Olympic Games.

At UPS, we're proud to lend our support in the form of direct funding and donated services.
