WHEN: Wednesday evenings August 21st, August 28th, and September 4th. – 6:00 reg, 6:30 start

– This private property on Prospect Lake road features a grassy field, some trees, mixed terrain & singletrack: perfect for practicing cyclocross!

COST: $10 per clinic or $25 for all three!
– Payment is ON-SITE with cash!

GROUP RIDE: We will be riding out from the store at 5pm. Come out and ride to the venue with us!

-The first clinic with go over the basics. Dismount, carrying/shouldering, remount.
-The second clinic will be split into two groups: one group for new attendees, and one for those building on the previous clinic. Building on the first clinic, we will go over real race situations. This group focuses on reading the course, making decisions and using the skills you just learned.
-The third clinic will move on to drills and strategy. If you missed the first two clinics, it’s okay, we’ll still have a group going over the basics!

WHAT TO BRING: Bring your bike!  Cyclocross bikes are ideal, but mountain and touring bikes can work too. Road bikes with narrow tires and single-sided clipless pedals are not recommended. Wear snug-fitting shorts or cycling shorts and a helmet.

Cross Club starts the Wednesday after the last clinic, so this is a great segue into the start of the season!
NOTE: There is no parking on-site. Some limited public parking is available on Woodsend Dr, 500m south of the course.
