CYCLOCROSS CLINIC

For the first Renegade Practice, we are offering a two hour "Cyclocross Clinic" from 5:30pm to 7:30pm on Sept 4th.

This is for Beginners only! We will go over the basics of Cyclocross, and allow you get in some hands-on practice. We will have different stations set up to teach the different skill-sets needed for cyclocross.

Folks from the BIKEIOWA Cycling Team who have been doing cross for years will lead the clinic.

You'll have opportunity to ask questions before 'real' practice starts. This is highly recommended if you are new to cross. Find out more about Cyclocross, the courses, and the bike set-up here.

CROSS

PLEASE join us for another season of Renegade Cyclocross Practices in Des Moines hosted by the BIKEIOWA.com Cycling Team.

All Practices will be held at Stone Park each Tuesday through the end of October. The course will be different each week.

Unless the ground is completely saturated with water or there is a big storm, practices will be held rain or shine.
Watch BIKEIOWA.com/CROSS and Twitter for up-to-date info.

Renegade Cyclocross Practices are held AT YOUR OWN RISK!
RENEGADE CYCLOCROSSThis will be a training race, bike practice, or whatever else you kids want to call it. No entry fees, no prizes, no official results. Please understand the word "race" is used loosely.

What it WILL be is a great opportunity to get some intensity in, practice barriers, run-ups and other cyclocross skills and ride against guys of varying abilities. This makes it a GREAT chance for newer riders to gain some confidence and have some fun, while the experienced guys get a good workout and pass on some knowledge. Above all, it's a good reason to ride cross bikes with friends. Cool?

BEGINNERS WELCOME!

This IS the place to learn! Find out more about Cyclocross, the courses, and the bike set-up at Cyclocross 101. Cyclocross is the fastest-growing cycling discipline of the 21st century.
Getcha some!

LOCATION

Stone Park is where all 2012 Renegade Cyclocross Practices will be held.  The park will be groomed more this year so we can use more of the hill on the South side!
