Join Plan2Peak Health & Human Performance and the Buffalo Bicycling Club for a three part Skills Course including USA Cycling sanctioned skills clinic and practice race!  The on-bike portion of the course will include a skills clinic on Saturday July13th and a practice race on Sunday July 14th.

To participate in the two days of on-bike skills riders must complete PART 1 of the course which is completion of the online video education and a short quiz. See instructions below.

On Day 1 of on-bike skills will be at Beaver Island State Park on Grand Island, where our instructor Peter Cummings of Plan2Peak Health & Human Performance will lead an on-bike skills development and bike handling clinic focusing on the importance of safety, communication, racing skills and handling.
