To coincide with the Gapers Block Crits, Half Acre Cycling is hosting a FREE clinic to teach the fundamentals of road bike racing. 

Open to Adults and Juniors! *Trans-friendly! All genders welcome!

Bring your bicycle, helmet, bike lock, cycling clothes, water & snacks.

This is a great no-cost opportunity to get the nitty-gritty on what to expect in your first criterium to help make you a more confident rider, from the starting line to the sprint....

Greg Meeker, a former member of the U.S. National Cycling Team, will give a guest lecture. Greg has coached many riders, both men and women. He regularly presents lectures and outdoor riding skills clinics in Illinois and Wisconsin. He also coached multiple National team members and helped found Midwest's first women's cycling team.

Following the lecture, you'll hop on your bike for a clinic (in a nearby lot, off-street) in cornering and other essential skills that you can apply at Gapers Block Crits.

Q&A discussion to round off the morning.
