What you'll learn.

Participants will learn drills to improve their bicycle steering and handling skill with an emphasis on group riding and spatial awareness.  Here's a list of what's covered during a session>>    

Where to Meet at the VSC

Meet for your Start Line class inside the VSC building.  Once inside the stadium, wait on the concourse at the top of the track.  A CCF coach will gather parents and athletes together for a group introduction.  After the introduction, athletes will be escorted to the infield to begin the on-bike segment of the class.  Parents remain in the spectator seats during class.  Directions to VSC>>

What to Wear and Bring

  • Wear a t-shirt and shorts (cycling jersey and shorts are not required for this class)
  • Do not wear long pants, as the pant leg fabric may get caught in the bike chain
  • Wear closed-toe exercise type shoes
  • Bring a bottle of water
  • Bring your bike helmet (we have a helmet for you to use if you don't already own a helmet)
  • Regarding cycling shoes and pedals:  Cycling shoes are NOT a requirement. IF the athlete already uses cycling shoes with clip-in style pedals, then bring both the shoes and pedals to class.  ALSO be sure to wear closed-toe exoercise shoes, as the lead instructor may or may not have the athlete wear his cycling shoes during the first class.
