Spring Training Series
An early season series of clinics and criterium races for any rider (road, gravel, or otherwise) to learn group riding and racing skills, and for experienced racers to get back in the swing of racing.
All events take part on a paved loop of roads, about 0.6 miles long. We have volunteers at the corners to keep the course as free of traffic as we possibly can.

Building on the first three weeks of the Spring Training Series (STS) clinics, we are adding a final “capstone” gravel session this year. It will apply what riders learn and practice in the initial clinics to riding faster, easier, and more safely on gravel.
