But no attendance - they told us they assume we attend if we signed up.
"Upgrade points are available for the Early Bird Criterium Mentoring sessions (5 to 4). 1 point per training race, .5 points for each clinic. 7.5 points maximum, if all five weeks completed. (4 to 3) .5 points for each clinic completed. Category 4 riders are encouraged to attend the morning skills clinic after their training race."
I didn't attend. It was about 10 minutes in when we finished our race cool down and debrief. I'll have to remember that for the next one....granted it's only half a point. That and your review wasn't exactly a seller
I figure I watched some of the clinic while I was talking to the Leopard Bikes rep, so I completed it in spirit.
I did a day long training/learning seminar last year and the BEST thing we did was bumping drills (body to body, body to bike, bike to bike, adn wheel to wheel. Really makes you feel a bit more controlled and condident when your in a tight group. I don't recall seeing that drill on the clinic schedule, but it's highly recommended.
