We are a group of 25 boys aged between 16 and 18 who share a love of cycling. We enjoy joint training sessions, preparations, and cycling races the most. Our coaches are Miha Koncilija, Blaž Debevec, and Jan Jovan, all of whom are also avid recreational cyclists.

We train four to five times a week, covering distances ranging from 70 to 130 km, with most of our training taking place in the Gorenjska region and around Ljubljana. At weekends, we take part in competitions both at home and abroad.

The first races of the 2022 season began at the end of March in Italy, while in Slovenia we started the season at the beginning of April. We capped off an extremely successful season by winning all three national championship titles. Natan Gregorčič became the national champion in time trials and criterium, while Domen Oblak won the road race.

Our vision is to become the best cycling academy in the region and beyond, training new champions with a top-notch professional approach. Our goal is to have a team of younger members up to the age of 23 in the near future, which will enable talented young cyclists to transfer to foreign professional clubs.

Our team consists of 28 members aged between 14 and 16. We share a love of cycling. Some of us have been pedaling for five years, while others only got into competitive cycling this year. Our coaches are Miha Koncilija, Blaž Debevec, and Jan Jovan.

We train three to four times a week, covering between 50 and 90 km during training sessions, mostly in the Ljubljana area. At weekends, we take part in competitions both at home and abroad.

Our goals are to perform well in races in Slovenia and abroad, to successfully represent KD Roga in the Slovenian Cup, and to qualify for the Slovenian national team to compete in a stage race in the Czech Republic.

In the 2022 season, younger juniors competed in 35 races in Slovenia and abroad under the guidance of coaches Jan Jovan, Blaž Debevec, and Miha Koncilij. The first races in Italy began at the end of March, while in Slovenia we started the season in early April with races in Ptuj and Tunjice. We have a very promising generation of boys in this category, as they regularly rank among the top three in the Slovenian Cup and are also among the best in races abroad. Jakob Jere came third in the national time trial championship, while Tine Jenko came second in the national criterium championship. We had a representative in the Slovenian Olympic team at the most important race of the season, the EYOFU in Banska Bystrica, where Bor Ebner competed.

Diligence, organization, patience, perseverance, focus, motivation, fair play, enthusiasm, self-belief, education before competitive goals, compassion for those in need, and giving back to the environment we come from are the values we live by.

We are boys aged 13 and 14, and there are 21 of us in the 2023 season. Our training sessions are between 30 and 60 kilometers long, and we meet at the pond in front of Šmartno. Among other things, the training sessions largely involve learning the basics of cycling, with a lot of work on riding technique and bike control. Groups A and B are the first to do almost all of their training on the road and face traffic. Therefore, a good knowledge of road traffic regulations is one of the key initial skills for trainees. Boys A and B have training sessions 4 times a week for about 1.5 to 2 hours or 40 to 60 kilometers, and sometimes more on weekends. They work on riding in a group, taking turns, riding in a circle, climbing, sprinting, tempo riding... However, the basics are still very important here, so they continue to work hard on bike control and mastery through exercises such as: picking up water bottles, snail riding, leaning on the pacer, standing still... Since they ride in a group, it is also very important to signal in a timely manner to others in the group who are riding behind you. This way, the whole group can safely avoid any potholes in the road or obstacles that unexpectedly appear in front of the cyclist. In order for the group to ride safely, everyone must also know the appropriate cycling signals. The goals are to have fun on the bike, enjoy what they are doing, acquire a lot of new knowledge, develop motor skills, follow the principles of fair play, and develop their cycling skills to such an extent that they can later successfully compete in higher categories.

Boys C is the youngest competitive category in road cycling. It includes cyclists aged between 10 and 12, who train three times a week at the Tacnu police training ground. There are 18 of us in the 2023 season, and the number will continue to grow towards the end of the season. It is in this category that we get the most new members every year. At the training ground, we learn bike control through various technical training courses, riding in the slipstream, riding in a group, and changing positions. We also regularly work on changing pace, sprints, practicing turns, and improving our physical fitness. In this category, we compete in races across Slovenia. The competition season begins in April and lasts until the beginning of October. In the summer (usually in August), we participate in a 4-day cycling camp, where we combine training with holiday activities.

The Pogi Team Cycling School operates as part of the Rog Cycling Club and is intended for all young boys and girls aged seven and above who enjoy cycling and would like to learn about road cycling. Riding a road bike has a special charm, but first you need to master cycling skills. Training at the cycling school takes place at a closed police training ground in Tacno, where there is no traffic, making it the most suitable place for learning. In addition to our youngest cyclists (ages 7-11), all beginners who have not yet mastered all the cycling skills necessary for safe riding on the road also take their first steps at the cycling school. Once they have mastered these, we assign them to the age category that corresponds to their age (boys, juniors, etc.). Please bring your child to training about 10 minutes early, and they must have their own bike (MTB, trekking, etc.) and helmet. Our coaches also bring some special equipment to training sessions, which trainees can then use during training. (Occasionally, due to the large number of trainees, only a certain number of cyclists can borrow the special equipment).

Training at the cycling school is divided into winter and summer parts:

During the winter (November-February), training takes place twice a week, once in the Šmartno Elementary School gym, where we strengthen our muscles with various strength, balance, and coordination exercises and sports games, and once a week we build up our fitness with hikes to Šmarna gora and Grmada.

During the summer (March–October), training takes place twice a week at the police training ground in Tacno, on Mondays and Thursdays (from 5 to 6 p.m. in winter and from 6 to 7 p.m. in summer).
