"My First Bike Race" - See the free webinar online
In case you missed the live version of USA Cycling's "My First Bike Race" webinar on February 16, you can still have the opportunity to check it out. CLICK HERE to either watch the archived webinar streaming, or download it for your ipod. Whether you're a young rider or a more mature first-timer, you'll benefit from Dr. Kristen Dieffenbach's discussion of the logistical matters and some of the other issues you might encounter at your very first bike race.
USA Cycling's Coaching Education Department also offers other FREE webinars on its webpage. Visit the USA Cycling Coaching Education webinar page, and scroll down to the section entitled "Archived Webinars."
I'm downloading this right now, hopefully it has some good info for anyone who is thinking about racing but doesn't know anything about it (or, those who have never raced but who think they know everything already).
