FWCN Clinic Reports


Last month, Florida Women Cycling Network hosted two cycling clinics: the Advanced Mountain Bike Clinic at Alafia State Park sponsored by SWAMP and Bent's Cycling and Fitness, and the Road Cycling Clinic, sponsored by Chipotle and University Bicycle Center. Both clinics were a tremendous success. Shelly Allen provided instruction in advanced mountain biking skills to eight riders eager to improve their technical skills. The first part focus on skill development. After which, we all hit the trails for guided practice. Thanks to Bent's Cycling and Fitness, all participants received cool gifts. Thanks Bents.

Our Road Skills Clinic was co-sponsored by Chipotle and University Bicycle Center. All eleven participants received an Eco-Friendly Chipotle bag stuffed with cool gifts from University Bicycle Center. Sharon Monahan instructed all in defensive road skills including avoiding obstacles and emergency stops. Then, with the assistance of Trish Cohen and Barbara Shirciffe Perigard, Sharon led everyone in group riding skills, climbing and cornering.



After instruction in fast cornering, the group headed for Chipotle for lunch. YUM. Thanks to all our sponsors and all the women who attended our clinics!
