For example, this week's clinic (pictured at right) dealt with smoothly running through hurdles and mounting your bike in one fluid motion. Saturday's CX race at Wheeler Farm will have quite a few hurdles every lap, so this kind of practice was the hot topic for the evening at last night's clinic.

All-inclusive Fees for the entire 8 weeks:
- USA Cycling License Holders: $10
- Non-licensed Riders $25
- Registration online at Sportsbaseonline.com ONLY. You must register!
Fine Print: Fees partially cover the cost of the permits (USA Cycling and Sugarhouse Park), insurance for USA Cycling members ($1/rider/day), and the $5/day/rider one-day license fee for non-licensed riders. Do the math. No extra charges, no refunds, no profit. Riders must sign in each week.
Goals: Learn something about cyclocross techniques; how to go over barriers, run up hills, and ride a skinny-tired bike off the pavement. Selfprofessed expert crossers will conduct the clinics and distribute nuggets of wisdom. Cyclocross and/or Mountain Bikes are welcome. Be cool: sell your capri pants and your fixie and buy a ‘cross bike.
Rules: Bikes are absolutely prohibited off-pavement anytime except during the clinic! Violation will result in us losing use of the Park. This is a promise. Do not ride on the grass except for Thursdays, during the clinic. Clinic participants are expected to police themselves and their colleagues.
