Some comments from previous participants:

"what takes years on the bike to learn can be summed
up in your clinic."

“I have been working on the sprinting technique that
you showed us and it has already made a difference.”

“I really thought your clinic was GREAT.  I learned so
much
The power sprinting technique was very helpful.”

“I liked being able to implement the newly learned
skills, while obtaining your feedback.”

"I raced the Patterson RR and
on the down hill your
tuck position really worked for me. I was shocked at
how I was catching people that were peddling and also
tucking, but I was going even faster."

"[My cornering] has been great. I have already noticed
a difference in my descending technique."

"I wish I knew about your clinic earlier and look
forward to participating in your next one."

“I would recommend the clinic to others.”
