Certified NCCP coaches and Elite racers will take you through a 3-hour overview of how to road race for your first time. We will cover basic race preparation, race nutrition and hydration, basic warm up, race rules and regulations, along with race language and peleton communication. We will be using the race course for race simulation.

What to bring: Riding clothes for all kinds of weather, a change of dry clothes, pen and paper, and all the questions that you have about racing! Please come prepared to ride, with extra tubes, a pump and your bike in perfect working order. Fenders are permitted for the clinic, but never for racing. Helmets are mandatory.
