Want to learn about bike racing? – Introduction to racing are for you!
Never tried bicycle racing and always wanted to see what it was all about? Want to learn about the basics, and more? Meet other racers, coaches and racing teams? Then this clinic is just for you!
Clinics will be held every week of before the races begin. The second Monday of each month will be a women’s-specific clinic.
The clinics will include basics of what bike racing is about led by Chris Swan of Upper Echelon Fitness along with other top racers and coaches, Q and A, and networking with other racers and teams.

Women’s Clinics: 2nd Monday of the Month
Dates: May 9, June 13, July 11, and August 8

Racing begins at 6:15 for men or 6:20 for women, and coaching will continue during the race, followed by re-grouping when finished for a debriefing after the race. You don’t have to race (or pay race registration fee) to take part in the clinic.

Sorry. Stupid question…How basic is your going over the basics? I’ve been a cycling fan for some time and done triathlons over the past few years. However, other than TT’s and triathlons, I have no personal experience racing road or crits (but I would like to). Could you give me an idea of what you might cover next Monday? I have the day off. Might drive up from Corvallis.
Jeff,
Sorry we missed your comment in time for last week. The clinics are very basic with a specific focus on introductory road racing skills. The clinics are great for someone who has riding experience but is perhaps less experienced with riding in a group, drafting, and other basic skills relating to racing. For more info, you can contact Chris Swan (http://www.chrisswan.com/?page_id=121) who runs most of the clinics.
