Road Bike Skills Clinic

Watt Riot Women's Cycling Team
When we say road bike, we mean any bike you will be riding on a road!
We welcome mountain bikes, e-bikes, hybrid bikes, etc. As long as you have 2 pedals!
This clinic is for ANY and EVERY level of cyclist and we mean it!
This is a skills-based clinic, so level of fitness will not be a factor so please do not be worried about "being too slow" (you are not!) or "holding anyone back" (you won't!).
Watt Riot Women's Cycling Team is offering the opportunity to help you get ready for the Wild Rose Women's Gran Fondo with a 2 session clinic.
