Testimonials
- Durango Devo coaches know how to make biking fun!
- Durango DEVO instills a positive mentality for kids in life and cycling as well as providing a stable environment for kids to prosper and grow as individuals.
- My kids ride their bikes almost everyday because of the time they have spent with such great coaches and mentors.
(Maddie Jo Robbins/Devo Alumni) I will miss the adventure ingrained into every Devo ride, every race, and every mission. I will miss the family atmosphere of Devo. And I will deeply miss Top Secret! But, I'm staying in Durango and continuing to coach the younginsand give back to Devo, so I won't have to miss all those things! Instead, I will be able to help create them for the next generations!
(Rily Amos/Devo Alumni)Don't be scared to experience all that Devo has to offer. There are so many great coaches and athletes participating in different programs(Flyers, U19, Explorers, NICA). They all help you see different aspects of riding a bike and lead you to love your bicycle for the rest of your life.
- No doubt one of the top Jr. Development programs in the country! - and they have fun!
Mission
The mission of Durango Devo is to develop life-long cyclists, one ride at a time!
Background Statement
Back in 2006, Devo was born out of the desire to provide an organized structure for kids to learn and grow on mountain bikes. Up until that point, mountain biking was a niche sport, with few kids getting involved, and little to speak of in terms of support for those new to the sport. Devo changed all of this. Growing from just 15 kids in two programs at its inception, Devo is one of Durango's largest and most widely recognized youth sports groups, in addition to being one of the most successful cycling development teams in the country.
Over the years, Devo has seen tremendous success, both in the competitive and non-competitive spheres. From a racing perspective, no other cycling development program compares to Durango Devo. Devo alumni include Olympians, World-Tour pros, Grand Tour stage winners, Cape Epic champions, World Championship medalists, and over 50 national champions
But, even while Devo continues to churn out some of the world's best racers, at its core Devo is NOT A RACING PROGRAM! Devo's mission is to develop lifelong cyclists, and in practice, this means a lot more than just being great at riding bikes. Devo aims to foster a safe, respectful, and conscientious appreciation and stewardship for the environment by engaging Durango's youth with the outdoors on their bikes. At an even deeper level, Devo strives to develop and better the lives of Durango's youth through the power of the bicycle. Bikes provide a consistent and positive outlet for kids (and adults!) to hone and focus their energy. With Devo, kids learn the power of effective goal setting, experience the thrill of tangible improvement, and are inspired and empowered to translate these lessons to other aspects of their lives. Devo's goals in the Durango community, in practice, incorporate Devo's belief that bikes are an incredible tool for enacting positive, tangible change in the lives of the people that ride them. This, at the end of the day, is the guiding force that inspires all of us working with Devo.
