Cyclocross Clinic
📅 Saturday, October 17
⏰ 11:00 AM
📍 Brookside
⏱ About 2 hours
Never raced cyclocross? Perfect. Come learn what all the chaos is about.
Whether you’re brand new to cross, a junior rider, looking to sharpen your skills, or just curious about racing between the tape, this clinic is for you. New riders, juniors, and women are especially encouraged to come out.
We’ll spend about two hours breaking down the skills that make cyclocross fast, fun, and just a little ridiculous:
• What cyclocross is, how racing works, Q&A
• Bikes, tires, tire pressure, & gear
• Cornering and carrying speed
• Dismounts & remounts
• Barriers
• Shouldering and carrying the bike
• Starts, line choice & race strategy
• And plenty more
Then we’ll put it all together and finish with some HOT LAPS 🔥 on a short course.
Bring whatever bike you have that can handle grass and dirt—cross bike, gravel bike, or mountain bike - water, and helmet. You don’t need to know what you’re doing. That’s the whole point of the clinic.
Come learn the skills. Meet some people. Ask questions. Ride fast. Make mistakes. Try it again. HAVE FUN!
Cross is coming. Come get ready.
