Cyclocross clinics are firing up all around Northern California leading up to the first races of the Cross season. I highly recommend taking part in any of these clinics which feature Cyclocross discussion and application of basic skills and techniques, practice on all aspects of the sport, knowledge shared by instructors and participants, plus some high speed work out sessions of on course race situation action.
