ADVANCED ROAD/GROUP RIDE SKILLS CLINIC

Advanced Road/Group Ride Skills Clinic

The basic skills clinic was so popular it generated a request for more advanced skills training. Always happy to serve our members, the Club has arranged with Peaks Coaching to provide an Advanced Road/Group Ride Skills Clinic. 

Cost is $35 per person.

For this clinic,
