PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
|
Every month the first 45-minutes will consist of a fixed routine focusing on the basic mechanics of competition situations. We encourage repeat participation in order to gain familiarity with carving your bike at speed.
The last 45-minutes will include skills and tactics simulations. Topics will vary from month to month but the goal will always be to help you race or ride in a group more effectively. If you're a veteran of the sport please stop by and pick up a few new tricks.

| A message from sponsor Paul Hurdlow |
|
|
|
I am very grateful to Andrew and Holly for providing DLA Piper a chance to sponsor this Beginner's Program. Bicycle racing has made such a powerful and positive change in my life -- fitness, friends, fun -- that I love to introduce the sport to others. At the same time, there's no getting around the risk inherent in our sport, and I've never fully reconciled my enthusiastic promotion of racing to beginners with my concern for their safety.
The DLA Piper Beginner's Program is designed in partnership with Holland Racing and Super Squadra to help new racers master the skills and tactics necessary to race as safely and effectively as they can. It will also serve as a skills workshop for racers at any level who want to brush up. My personal hope is that it will help new racers climb the learning curve more quickly and enter their first races with a focused, but relaxed and positive mental attitude that may reduce some of the risk to themselves and others in those early races.
Please support our program by sending potential new racers our way, and encouraging the new racers you encounter on course.
Sincerely,
Paul Hurdlow, DLA Piper
