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."
