Preregistration required, clinic is capped at 50 participants.  No license needed.  Registration is $15 for all riders and opens July 1.

Is this cross clinic for you?
Hell yes! If:

• You have never raced cross before but are curious and want to give it a go.
• You've tried cross and want to improve or meet other women cross racers.
• You've been doing cross a while and want to improve and support new women to the sport.

No
experience is necessary, other than the ability to ride a bike and the
gumption to try cross.
Intermediate/experienced riders are welcome to skip the morning classroom/basics portion and
join us for on-the-bike at 10:30am, but must register for the clinic.

Clinic leader Kristin Wentworth, a Cat 1 road racer with Team Kenda, started racing cross in 2005 as a fun "off season" activity from the
road season. She immediately fell in love with the sport and started
taking it seriously in 2008 and joined Planet Bike and began racing UCI
events. Kristin is a 3 time WI state champ, winner of 2009 UCI NC
Hendersonville race, 5th at 30+ Master Nationals 2008.
