We promised bigger and better for this year, so here it is: Sunday, August 15th, one of the best professional Cyclocross racers in the country and one of the best coaches in the mid-west. $50 for three hours of instruction/practice, food from Chipotle, and one hour of Q&A with the instructors during lunch. Check out the attached flyer at the bottom of this entry, or the registration page:
Topics will include:
Beginners session will start with the basis. What is a cross race? What is a "typical" cross race like? (distances, dismounts, barriers, etc) What do the categories mean? Do I need a license?
Bike Handling
Starting A Race (and clipping in quickly)
Cornering
Dismounting & Remounting
Barriers
Sand-Pit
Run-Ups
Sprinting
Training Strategies (Should you run? How much should you ride? How much technical work? Typical week.)
Tactics for racing (starts, finishes, using the pack, drafting, attacks, teammates)
Equipment Choices (Bikes, Tires, Brakes, Clothing)
All participants are required to bring a bike. You must also sign in (waivers) and wear their helmet at all times when you're riding on the IIT campus. We recommend bringing a water bottle or two depending on the weather. Event will be held rain or shine.
