(Re)Introduction to Cyclocross
Where: Inch Park, Edinburgh
Meet location: Come find the Hervelo gazebo, by the entrance to the Inch Park Community Sports Club.
Meet at 9:45am for a 10am start.
Session focus: We’re all feeling a little rusty post a summer away from the joys of the mud and hopping on and off our bikes with glee so we’ll be aiming to cover a wide variety of the skills you need to cyclocross. Whether you’re a returning racer or entirely new to the wacky world of cyclocross then this session is for you!
