Preparations for collegiate cyclocross
The first collegiate cross race is November 6th. There are a few things you must do prior to competing in these races:
1. Make sure you are a member of USA Cycling.
2. Become a ‘collegiate member’ of USA Cycling. You will receive a new license that will only be used for collegiate cycling.
3. Email to the listserv or email Meghan directly about your interest in racing collegiate cross. We will be carpooling to these races to save money, so make sure you get in on that if you are interested!
If you have any questions, please feel free to email the club.

Transition Clinic
Now is the time to start fine-tuning that fourth discipline called Transition 1 and 2. The average pro takes less than ten seconds at their transition area. You can do that too! It’s not a matter of strength and endurance, but repetition and practice.
Please join me next week, Thursday, June 2 at 2pm to learn how to do a transition like a pro! We will meet behind PEB. There is a quiet road behind this building with little traffic that will be perfect for transition work. We will go over the basics for a fast transition, then each member will have the opportunity to practice their own transitions. This includes mounting and dismounting the bike!
What you need to bring:
Bike
Shoes – bike and run
Sunglasses
Goggles
Swim cap
Towel
Helmet ***You will not be able to participate in this clinic if you do not have a helmet!!!
Number belt – a t-shirt is fine for this, too.
You should wear tighter fitting exercise clothes so you won’t be hung up on a bike seat when trying to dismount your bike
Please RSVP for this clinic! I understand that people have jobs and other commitments, so this clinic will be recorded and put it up on the new website.
