GCCMail: Developers' Clinic james thompson 15 Aug 2010 12:39 EDT

Will be held Monday, Wed, Thu, and Fri beginning Aug. 23rd, meet 6:00
p. m. leave 6:10 sharp each day from parking lot of Chain Rx Bikes,
1630 W. University Ave.
Saturday, 28 August, we will meet at 8:00 a. m. to ride with the Gliders.

Monday:  Single File paceline at speed, to help you understand chasing
and efficient pacelining for returning to the group after a flat or
mechanical
Wednesday:  Rotating Paceline at moderate speeds, to prepare you for
larger group rides where rotations are common
Thursday: Leadouts and Sprinting, to help the performance rider deal
with competitive moments on performance rides
Friday:  Mash-up, a ride designed to incorporate all of the skills
learned during the week
Saturday: Ride with Gliders if you feel you are ready!

Developers rides are for fit riders (meaning you can ride about 16mph
by yourself for an hour) who would like to learn paceline safety and
etiquette, and drafting techniques.  The clinic is themed around the
idea that performance tactics (like rotating pacelines and sprinting
techniques) are good for performance riders, even if you don't intend
to race.

Email me at jtexconsult@xxxxxxxxx if you have any questions.  This
clinic does not change our regular rides this week on Wed and Fri,
same time and location.
