CVC Clinics


CVC offers cycling clinics to help women become more skillful cyclists whether their goal is to race or simply improve performance and have more fun on their bike. To learn more about our upcoming 2008 clinics click here .
Clinics Capitol Velo Club offered twelve clinics to its members during the Spring 2007 season. Our clinics represent the effort of CVC, combined with the support of riders from Brazen Dropouts, Team Kenda, and other racing clubs to grow women’s cycling by improving the skills and confidence of both novice and advanced riders. We began the season in March with Gordon Paulson’s “Designing Your Racing Season.” In April, *Damon Rinard* offered his “Turning Techniques” and “Defensive Riding Skills” clinics (with help from David Blomme). Then *Kristin Wentworth* and *Monique Karlen* of Team Kenda offered CVC racers a “Sprint & Attack" clinic. In May, *Jane Rinard* offered two “Time Trial” clinics providing the foundation for Gordon Paulson’s “Team Time Trial” clinic in Paoli. Karen Pluim followed with her annual “Basics of Pacelining” clinic, and Greg Biettler offered his classroom and practical clinics titled “Racing 101 & Racing 102.” In June, *Samantha Kaplan* offered her annual “Hill Climbing Techniques” clinic. In July, *Ali Dwyer* and *India Viola* of We Are All Mechanics taught CVC members the “Basics of Bike Maintenance.” In autumn, CVC turned its attention to cyclocross. During the winter Jane Rinard laid the foundation for the 2008 season by teaching CVC riders the essentials of winter training and proper goal setting.
