Page to host Wisconsin 'cross clinic

Six-time national US cyclo-cross champion Jonathan Page will be hosting a cyclo-cross clinic on Saturday, August 30 at Badger Prairie County Park in Verona, Wisconsin, just outside Madison.

Page, arguably the most successful American cyclo-cross racer in history, took a silver medal performance at the 2006 World Championships, and will provide a rare opportunity for amateurs to learn from one of the world's best cyclo-cross racers. A morning clinic will be for those new to cyclo-cross and the afternoon session will be for experienced racers looking to improve and gain an edge on the competition.

The clinic will consist of demonstrations and practice of various cyclo-cross skills including mounting/dismounting, handling barriers, and other skills needed for 'cross. Page can also answer questions about training, pre-race prep and other issues you've been eager to learn more about. Page will be assisted by other top local racers on the Planet Bike team.

Cost for the clinic is $40. Schedule and registration information is online at www.madcross.org.
