Next Up: Opus Beginning Clinic!
There was a great turnout at last night's clinic, with 30 future racers along with some
seasoned folks who added advice and support. Presenters Barb, Sherry and Teresa
were wonderful and shared their insights from a combined, what...45 years of racing.
Thanks also to our clinic coordinator, Alix. We're lucky to have such experienced
racers in our community and that they're willing to take time to talk about racing to
the newbies.
It was wonderful to have so many new women come out and they all seemed very
excited about racing!
Next up is the Opus Clinic this Saturday--details below!
