race skills clinic

[aicabsolut]

Yes. It's only divided into "adults" and "juniors" sections. I just got the info in an email about the women's series, I think because Evelyn is sort of in charge of both that and the clinic.

It's $35 for adults, $25 for juniors and includes bfast and lunch.

Here's the blurb on bikereg:

Have you ever thought about giving bike racing a try, but are not quite sure how to do it? What makes racing different than fast, hard group rides? Do other people ask you if you "race?" Or maybe you just want to be a more proficient and skillful rider.

This clinic is aimed at the athletic road bike rider who has never raced before and wants to give it a try. The information provided spans the very basics of riding for racing on and off the bike, and to the special skills needed for different kinds of races.

Basic information from what to expect to how to get a license and local resources will help you get past the paperwork and to feel comfortable when you arrive at your first race. Training tips and targeting your strengths will get you ready this winter to race next spring with confidence!

this would be really interesting, not so much that I am interested in racing but it would be a fun aspect to incorporate into my riding. however, I have a time conflict and it won't work out for me.
