Sven Nys and Sven Vanthourenhout are back for their third-annual cyclocross clinic hosted by Chicago’s xXxRacing-Athletico. Learn more about this chance to learn from the two legends this September in this release.
For the third year in a row, Chicago’s xXx Racing-Athletico is partnering with cyclocross legends Sven Nys and Sven Vanthourenhout to provide two one-day cyclocross clinics benefitting the Pieter Ombregt Scholarship Fund.
The two clinics will be held in the Windy City on Saturday, September 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, September 16 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Caldwell Woods. The Sunday clinic is after the Caldwell Woods Chicago Cross Cup cyclocross race, so it provides a great opportunity for new racers to learn from the two legends after their races.
The two Svens bring a combined 40 years of cyclocross experience to their teaching experience. The clinic will use the varied terrain of the Caldwell Woods course, and the two Svens will use a structured curriculum to teach techniques to tackle the discipline’s many challenges. Sven and Sven will also provide a discussion of bike setup and maintenance.
Spots for the 2018 Sven-Nado clinic are limited to help maintain a coach-rider ratio that provides all participants with an opportunity for hands-on instruction.
