MadCross Clinic kicks off Wisconsin Cyclocross season on September 30

Clinic is full.  Email if you want to be on a cancellation waiting list. I'm looking into adding a second instructor to accommodate the waiting list so don't give up hope.

Capitol Velo Cub and Homegrown Cycling invite local riders to attend the MadCross Clinic on Saturday, September 30 at Badger Prairie County Park in Verona, WI.  This clinic is the perfect way to start your 2006 cyclocross season whether you are brand new to cyclocross or looking to move to the next level.   

Join Cycle-Smart, Inc coach, Ben Turner, in an action packed day of instruction.  The clinic will consist of demonstrations and practice of various cyclocross skills including mounting/dismounting, handling barriers, run ups, and dealing with different terrain.

At the conclusion of the technique practice, top local racers will take participants out to pre-ride the race course that will be used on October 1 for the Badger Cross race which is the first race in the Wisconsin Cycling Association Cyclocross Series.  Participants will be able to practice their skills on the terrain that will be used for racing the very next day.  

 Clinic participants can ride a cyclocross bike or mountain bike and no prior cyclocross experience is required.  Registration is limited to 20.  Cost for the clinic is $40.  Lunch and snacks are included.  Clinic runs from 8am-3pm.

 The Wisconsin Cycling Association Cyclocross Series is comprised of eight races held throughout southern Wisconsin.  Racing starts on October 1 at Badger Prairie County Park just outside Madison, WI, and concludes on November 19 in Sun Prairie, WI.  A complete schedule is available at the Wisconsin Cycling Association website.

 The MadCross Clinic is made possible through the hard work and sponsorship of Capitol Velo Club, Homegrown Racing, Schwinn, Williamson Bicycle and Fitness, Willy Street Co-op and MadCross.org.
