Bike Racing 101
Are you curious about bike racing but not sure if you’re ready to give it a try?
Bike Racing 101 is the place to find the answer. Learn everything you need to know before your first race. The session at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, will cover all the basics, including how to choose an event that’s right for you, and how to prepare yourself and your equipment for the big day. You’ll learn how to navigate the registration process, category selection, racing rules and etiquette, scoring, timing, and what you need to bring to the race.
The focus of the session is on cyclocross and mountain bike racing, but seasoned riders will be on hand to talk about other disciplines if there is interest.
Come with all your questions and put your mind at ease before your first race. (There are no “bad” questions as you start the bike racing journey.)
Did you know there are several upcoming local events, including GO Cross and SeptemberCross, coming up that would be great for first-time racers? Find out what these events are and how you can get involved – even if you are brand new to bike racing or have never competed before.
This event is free and hosted by Star City Cycling at Downshift – Hand Crafted Bikes & Brews.
