Take advantage of an opportunity to hone in your ‘cross skills with a weekly cyclocross session. This informal practice It’s a chance for experienced riders and beginners alike to practice their skills and work on cyclocross-specific fitness. Cross is a unique blend of road bike speed and mountain bike handling so no matter what your background chances are good that you’ll love the unique challenge. Whether cyclocross is something brand new to you, or if you’re a veteran of the discipline, feel free to join us. Ride your cross bike or your MTB (minus bar-ends).
We use PVC barriers for practice so it’s easy to setup a mock course and/or practice our transitions without intimidating wooden barriers. If you want to give ‘cross a try, or if there’s a specific aspect of your ‘cross riding that you’d like to improve upon, this will be a great opportunity to learn and have fun.
