Juniors Clinic & Race - August 9th!
We have completed six races in the criterium series, but we still have three more to go! This Wednesday we are having a special event in conjunction with the regular A and B races.
On August 9th there will be a special JUNIORS clinic and race for kids 18 years and younger. Beginning at 6:00 PM there will be a FREE special 15 minute racing clinic held by USA Cycling coach Todd Nordmeyer followed by a FREE 5 lap miss-and-out criterium race. The clinic with Todd will provide Juniors with some valuable coaching tips to become good bike handlers and racers. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from his expertise!
Once the clinic is completed the Juniors will ride one lap around the course to get familiar with the course layout. All Juniors will then participate in a 5 lap race called a miss-and-out where the last few riders of each lap are pulled from the race. For example, if there are 20 Juniors starting then we will pull the last 4 riders crossing the start/finish line at the end of each lap. This will provide for a safer racing environment for our younger riders while still gaining the experience of racing.
The entire experience for Juniors will be FREE as registration will begin at 5:00 PM. Event release forms are required, as well as signatures from parents or legal guardians for kids under the age of 18. One-day licenses will be available for those who do not have an annual USA Cycling racing license, but the $10 one-day license fee will be waived allowing for a completely FREE event for Juniors!
The future of our sport relies on the support we provide for the younger generation. Please encourage and help all of our younger bike riders to come out and participate. Plus, it would be
very encouraging to the Juniors if all of the A and B racers showed up early to watch and cheer!
