Join Coach Andrew in our inaugural Cyclocross (CX) program. This group will be only 4 weeks to get our feet wet in the CX world.
This group will act as both an introduction to cyclocross skills and CX race prep for all levels. Each week riders will focus on 1-2 skills and different aspects of cyclocross. This will be built upon by practicing additional skills and training every week that will conclude with racing a CX course on our last practice! Whether your child races cyclocross or not, this training can help improve many skills associated with all types of biking as cyclocross is a blend of speed, strength, bike handling skills, and can increase comfort on the bike. It’s also just plain fun which is what FLYRS is all about.
