WHAT TO EXPECT
This clinic is designed to provide new riders with all the background
knowledge and skills they need to be ready to get into racing. The clinics
are also progressive enough that experienced riders can learn more and
refine their existing skill. Although the week to week schedule changes,
the fundamentals of bike racing and how to begin safely will be covered
every week. In addition to the basics, the clinic will cover more advanced
topics like bike handling skills, turns, pace-lines, braking, pack riding
skills, race tactics, racing rules, team/club networking, and more. Also
expect plenty of time for UEF's experienced coaches to answer all your
questions throughout the evening. Please bring a road bike, a helmet, and
all the questions you have. After the clinic is completed, the riders have
the opportunity to enter into a beginner friendly race in the novice
categories. UEF coaches will ride the race with the riders and be on hand
after the race to answer questions and offer feedback.
