why: have fun while refining your skill and fitness all at the same time
With a full slate of Cyclocross racing to come this season take advantage of an opportunity to hone in your ‘cross skills with a weekly cyclocross session. This informal practice will allow you to dial your dismount and perfect your transition over the barriers and back onto the bike. Cyclocross requires a certain level of finesse and practicing will allow you to become more smooth. Whether cyclocross is something brand new to you, or if you’re a veteran of the discipline, feel free to join in. Ride your cross bike or your MTB (minus bar-ends).
We’ll set up pvc barriers and do some trial runs, move things around and try some more situations. Himmel’s terrain even allows for a run up. Come ready to practice and enjoy all that is ‘cross! Make it a skills ride or incorporate some race efforts to boost the fitness. Have questions or need further details? Simply stop on by or email twoodruff@momentumendurance.com. See you there!
