Try a Race:

Criteriums and road races are fast-paced and competitive, requiring a valid MCA license to participate. Before jumping into one of these events, we encourage you to join a cycling club to practice your new skills. In the meantime, come out as a spectator and experience the excitement of a race firsthand!

If you’d like to put your newly learned skills to the test in a low-pressure setting, consider joining a time trial or a gravel ride—both great ways to build confidence and experience race-style riding in a supportive environment.

Not sure where to start? Ask your clinic leaders what race might be right for you!
