March 3, 2010 (Ottawa, ON) – In 2009, the Canadian Cycling Association sent a team of 14 riders to participate in the Pan American Track Cycling Championships in Mexico City. It proved to be the beginning of a successful season with riders coming home with a Continental Championship Record, five new Canadian Records, and eight medals.

The 2010 Pan American Championships are scheduled to take place in Aguacalientes, Mexico from May 10-18 and the CCA is looking to build on last year’s success. The Pan American Track Team will be chosen from riders participating in a selection camp in LA from April 10-12, 2010 and having met set Selection Criteria. Full details regarding the team selection and national team policies may be found on the CCA website here.
