Clinic Details:

Join coaches Anne Linton, MD (USA Cycling coach), Rhonda Morin (CX national master’s bronze medalist) and dirt skills specialist Martin Baker (former Oregon State XC Champion and CX Masters A racer) for 3 clinics of cyclocross skills and preparation for the 2011 season.

The Monday, August 15 clinic is for Women Only. Ladies, here is your chance to learn or brush up on your cross technique skills through demonstration and practice in an “on-your-bike” encouraging and coached environment. 

Return on August 29 and September 10 with a mix of men and women to learn new skills and further improve your skills on your bike. We'll break into groups and individually based on experience and skill comfort and then we'll finish off each session with skills practice games and/or a mini race. 

Specific cyclocross skills will be introduced and built upon during each session. Cyclocross specific strength, flexibility conditioning, training and nutrition tips will also be part of the sessions. 

Come on out and play!

Cyclocross skills that will be covered:

- Barriers, mounts and dismounts
- Shouldering and running with the bike
- Run-ups
- Cornering
- Off-camber riding
- Group starts
- CX-specific strength and flexibility conditioning
- Nutrition and training tips
- Gradual progression of skills with each session

We keep our rider/coach ratios small to ensure individual attention so that skills can be taught and practiced to meet both individual and group interests and needs. 

What equipment do I need to participate?
Cyclocross and/or mountain bikes (without bar ends). Come dressed to ride in all weather. Bring food and water for 2 and 3 hours of riding.

Helmets are mandatory – they must be in good condition and fit appropriately.
