The second Trexlertown Women's Cycling Clinic will run this year on the weekend of May 1 and 2. The clinic is designed for beginning women cyclists who may have raced or are just thinking about it, and aims to be a comprehensive, fun weekend that provides beginning women riders with cycling information, techniques and skills in a safe, supportive environment, according to the organizers.

The T-Town Clinic provides riders the opportunity to learn both road and track skills in and around the Lehigh Valley Velodrome in Trexlertown, PA. Track bike rentals are included in the cost of the clinic.

The clinic covers skills such as getting more comfortable on the bike; close riding to others-in a pack or paceline; cornering; pedaling efficiently; bike fit, season and training plans; beginning racing strategy; and track skills such as riding a fixed-gear bike, how to enter and exit the track properly and handling the 27 degree banking.

Instructors include Karen Bliss, 7-time U.S. road and track national champion; Kendra Wenzel, professional cycling coach, author and owner of Wenzel Coaching; Sue McDonough, 'multi-tasking queen' who at one time was an elite racer, full-time job holder and mother; Lori Hoefer, master bike fitter at Serotta; and Selene Yeager, fitness author.
