2024 Clinic Participant Feedback
"We received a lot of one-on-one attention and valuable feedback from the professional instructors on how to enhance our skills. Additionally, elite level C2C riders Kristen Gardner joined us on Saturday and Monique Vollbrecht on Sunday. Both spoke about nutrition, hydration, and essential spares for race day. Both were incredibly generous with their time and expertise, and their insights were incredibly beneficial."
