What a perfect day to have a CX clinic. Many thanks to the Olathe Parks and Recreation for the use of a wonderful park. Temps in the morning where 65 and rolled into the 80s but we had shade and lots of other things to do.

Past Three Weeks of Skills Clinics!!!

I know I have not written about anything for months! Busy time of year with SPIN! Pizza rides, clients, clinics and well a little bit of racing.
OK, Skills Clinic are in the books and what a blast I had teaching and I heard all had a good time and learned more than they thought they would. Happy I could spread my knowledge of the bike on to other riders. Three weekends in a row has kept me on my toes and well has helped me refine my skills as a bicycle handler.

Here are a few photos of the past three weekends.

 

 

I want to thank all who where involved in the Clinics. They are FUN! Look for new Clinics for the Spring to be announced. Advanced clinics will the on top of the list with a few specialty clinics.
