*CYCLOCROSS TRAINING CLASS*
This is a training class for cyclocross. Not a skills clinic, which we offer
Tues/Thurs at Alpenrose. This class (ride) will meet at UEF in NW Portland
and ride as a group to Forest Park for training. We will use various road
and trails in NW Portland for these workouts. When the weather becomes too
dark and wet, we will switch to indoor classes. For outdoor classes, bring a
functioning cross (or mt bike). For indoor classes bring a clean road bike
or clean cross bike with slick rear tire for the trainer. We will give
notice when classes switch to indoors - when we run out of daylight.
Training will follow an appropriate periodized training schedule for cross
season.
Wednesdays, August through November. 6:00-7:00pm
