A little more on the clinic

Wow, this week has flown by. Last week the family and I were on vacation. This week I needed to 1. Get back to work (you know how that can be after taking a week off) and 2. put on a cyclocross clinic. Unfortunately in 3rd place has been family time followed by getting a chance to ride my bike. So sad, that's life.

The clinic was awesome! A great bunch of very excited racers came out. I had a blast trying to unload my passion to them. Everyone that showed up was an accomplished rider but getting across all the subtleties of cross in the time we had was a challenge. By the time I made it home after the clinic I was so amp'd up I couldn't sleep. The next day I was pretty tired from pooring my effort into the event.

I have recieved a number of notes from people saying how much they enjoyed the clinic and how excited they are to tryout their new skills. Even if I just see a couple of them at the races, it would really make my season! As the cyclocross director on this team I've worked to build a group of racers. My first season had two of us regularly racing. Last year we had a typical crew of 4-5 racers. This year could be a big leap, lets hope so.

Here are a few more photos from the event:

Yes, cyclocross is hard and you might get muddy but it's a lot of fun!
