Come one, come all to North Branch's bike handling clinic conducted by me, Ed H. The scope of the clinic is to cover everything from road bike basics (shifting, pack riding tactics) to advanced road bike techniques (counter-steering, bumping, and overlapped wheels). We will start off with theory, then work specific drills to reinforce proper techniques. Specific components of this clinic are:

1) Crash prevention: theory followed by overlapping wheels, bumping (make sure to slap on older tires for the overlapping wheel drills)
2) Cornering: theory followed by proper lines and counter steering
3) Pacelines: theory followed by practicing pulls at actual speed

We will meet up at the Panera in Deer Park (starting point for P-McH-P ride) at 8am sharp, then roll to a near-by location for the clinic. Clinic will last ~1hr, then we'll continue on an abbreviated training ride. Clinic is open to team members who have paid due for 2010.
