#crossiscoming and there is no better time than now to dust off the cyclocross skills. New papa Jeremy Powers is going to be in the Philadelphia area for a special Q&A session (diaper changing advice?) and cyclocross clinic today and tomorrow. Both events benefit the Cadence Youth Cycling program.
If you are in the Philadelphia area, there is still time to register for these events. There is also a special deal for multiple registrations for the ’cross clinic.
