Women’s bike clinic on Saturday

womanride.jpg

Sometimes, it’s just less intimidating to learn in a women-only environment. On Saturday, the Austin Flyers Women’s Racing Team will host a women-only cycling clinic at Texas Orthopedics, 4700 Seton Center Parkway.

The day starts with a morning skills and demo session, followed by on-road lesson. Cyclists will break into small groups to practice cornering, bike handling, hills, gearing, group rides, etiquette, pace lines and safety. During lunch, cyclist and attorney Brad Houston will discuss the rules and rights of cyclists on the road. In the afternoon, participants can choose from two of three break-out sessions: Core, Stretching and Strength Training, Equipment and Maintenance; or Training and Racing.

Cost for the clinic is $65 and includes coffee, pastries and lunch. (Discount to Austin Flyers Club members.) Reserve a spot at bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=8806. Online registration closes at 8 a.m. Thursday. Email austinwomenonbikes@gmail.com if you have questions.
