'Cross Clinic 1 under the belt...

We had a great showing this AM at the first CX clinic at Elk's. We had some really great folks out there who are 'cross crazy. Essentially, we did a 1 hour 45 minute overview of my little 'system'. Basically a mind dump of all the little shitr I've learned and practice myself. Today was all in relation to barrier work wherein we learned:

Phase 1: getting off the bike and all its little nuances.
Phase 2: getting through the barriers properly and quickly
Phase 3: the infamous remount and how it is learned at sloooow speed.

I hope you guys had fun! Spread the word. Free is good (but beer donations are accepted....HA!). I encourage all you guys to practice those drills over and over until you're dizzy. Eventually, you should probably hook up with a Cycle Smart class or similar.

This is how we repeated the drills after we learned them and before we threw together some hot laps.
