> From: "Erik Tonkin"

>
> To all you 'cross clinic lovers out there:
>
> Thanks for making last week's clinic (#2) another success.
> Officially, we had 183 registered riders and--again--well over 200
> attendees. It was a big crowd, but we managed it well, thanks to
> all our volunteers and your positive energy.
>
> Congrats to the Stephanie Buddenbaum family for winning the 2009
> Jake the Snake 'cross bike. They might turn it into two bikes, one
> for the daughter and one for the son!
>
> Here are some notes on tonight's (#3 and final) clinic:
>
> *If you did not make it to the first two clinics, it is definitely
> OK to start at this one. The cost is $10.
>
> *Remember to sign in even if you've registered for the whole series
> or pre-paid for tonight.
>
> *For those of you who have participated, remember it's OK to switch
> groups. We especially encourage riders from the big beginner group
> to move to another, more advanced group if necessary. It's also OK
> to stay put!
>
> *The groups led by Erik, Shannon, and Kevin will practice on a short
> cyclocross course. Riders from the big beginner group are also
> welcome to transition to the practice course. (There will be enough
> coaches avaialble to work on specific skills in an individual or
> small group setting, too--we will not just be doing laps around the
> course!)
>
> *Chris Tauscher will again host the kids' 'cross clinic.
>
> *Jeb Stewart of Endurofit (www.endurofit.com) is still compiling an
> email list of clinic participants. We plan to send out content
> related to the 'cross clinics, including clinic reviews, coaching
> tips, links to video clips detailing 'cross technique, etc. If you
> wish to be on the list, just see Jeb at the clinic. He'll be
> wearing an Endurofit shirt and juggling his bike and cameras. You
> can check out the CCX skills video training tips we created from
> last year's clinic at: http://www.endurofit.com/Free%20Resources/Videos/Cycling%20Skills%20Videos.html
> .

> Thanks for your time! --Erik Tonkin
>
> P.S. Thanks to Rhonda Mazza, Shannon Tauscher, Erin Greeson, Jeb
> Stewart and Mr. OBRA (aka, Kenji) for working the registration
> table. Thanks to Rhonda, Jeff Struck, Matt Mahoney, Dani Dance,
> Martin Baker, Cary Miller, and Sue Butler for coaching the beginner
> groups; Shannon Skerritt, Brad Ross, Molly Cameron and Kevin Hulick
> for coaching the more experienced; Erik Tonkin, Wendy Williams, Jon
> Myers and Bridget Stoick for coaching those in between; and Chris
> Tauscher for coaching the kids! Thanks to Ron Strasser and Chris
> Tausher (and others) for set-up and tear-down. Special thanks to
> Shannon Tauscher for baby-sitting Gus!
