Whether your interest is touring, competitive cycling or group riding, the C-SIG provides 8 weeks of intensive training and practice during all-day group rides. Each week the rides get a little longer,a little faster and and a little more difficult, so you gain strength and endurance over the spring. You’ll also get lessons in the following areas of competency:</span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.35;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7aacab83-f0eb-c0cc-233b-afc85a1c9a4c"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Essential Riding Skills</span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> – efficient pedal stroke, cadence, using a cycle computer, maximizing use of gears, balance/coordination, passing/acceleration, hill ascent, braking on fast down-hills, short stops, hairpin turns, etc.</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.35;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7aacab83-f0eb-c0cc-233b-afc85a1c9a4c"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Road and Group Riding Skills –</span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> hand signals (stopping, turning, road obstacles), safety skills for riding in traffic</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.35;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7aacab83-f0eb-c0cc-233b-afc85a1c9a4c"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bike Maintenance and Repair Skills –</span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> changing a flat, care and lubrication of chain and crank, adjusting brakes</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.35;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7aacab83-f0eb-c0cc-233b-afc85a1c9a4c"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nutrition and Hydration –</span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> timing, quality, quantities</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.35;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7aacab83-f0eb-c0cc-233b-afc85a1c9a4c"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bike Fit –</span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for maximum efficiency and injury prevention</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.35;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7aacab83-f0eb-c0cc-233b-afc85a1c9a4c"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Best Cycling Clothes –</span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for riding comfortably in cold, hot, wet and everything in-between weather</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.35;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7aacab83-f0eb-c0cc-233b-afc85a1c9a4c"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Emergency First Aid Response –</span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> basics for acting quickly in case of emergency AND much more!</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.35;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7aacab83-f0eb-c0cc-233b-afc85a1c9a4c"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Build a foundation of cycling skills that will last a lifetime.

You are required to attend at least six of the eight rides. And if you miss the Orientation on March 12, plus one of the first two rides (March 26, or April 2); <strong>OR </strong>if you miss the first two of the first three rides (March 26, April 2, April 9), you will not be allowed to continue.</span></p> <div> </div> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 25.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dates</span></p> <div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.35; white-space: pre-wrap;">We start with an Orientation session on <strong>March 12, 2016</strong> (no need to bring your bike). We then hold our Classification Ride (one day only) on the morning of <strong>Saturday, March 19th</strong> (Rain date: <strong>Sunday March 20th</strong>). Both the Orientation and Classification Ride are essential to participating in the SIG.More details are in the confirmation email when you register for the C-SIG, and there will be another email toward the end of February with more information as well. The course itself takes place on Saturdays, all day, from <strong>March 26 to May 14, 2016</strong>. Sundays are back-up days.</span></div> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <hr> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is more necessary and important information in the C-SIG FAQs at the top of the page.

Each week the rides get a little longer,a little faster and and a little more difficult, so you gain strength and endurance over the spring.

We then hold our Classification Ride (one day only) on the morning of <strong>Saturday, March 19th</strong> (Rain date: <strong>Sunday March 20th</strong>). Both the Orientation and Classification Ride are essential to participating in the SIG.More details are in the confirmation email when you register for the C-SIG, and there will be another email toward the end of February with more information as well. The course itself takes place on Saturdays, all day, from <strong>March 26 to May 14, 2016</strong>.

Both the Orientation and Classification Ride are essential to participating in the SIG.More details are in the confirmation email when you register for the C-SIG, and there will be another email toward the end of February with more information as well. The course itself takes place on Saturdays, all day, from <strong>March 26 to May 14, 2016</strong>.

Both the Orientation and Classification Ride are essential to participating in the SIG.More details are in the confirmation email when you register for the C-SIG, and there will be another email toward the end of February with more information as well. The course itself takes place on Saturdays, all day, from <strong>March 26 to May 14, 2016</strong>.

Both the Orientation and Classification Ride are essential to participating in the SIG.More details are in the confirmation email when you register for the C-SIG, and there will be another email toward the end of February with more information as well. The course itself takes place on Saturdays, all day, from <strong>March 26 to May 14, 2016</strong>.
