I just found out there's a road bike skills clinic in Bend, Oregon May 22 and May 23 and I thought I'd share the info. I think the cost is $5 per person. One day is for women and one day for men. Sounds like a great way to gain confidence on the bike if you are new to cycling or not used to riding in groups. The local shop that is organizing it is Hutch's. There may be more info. on their website. I think the URL is hutchsbicycles.com
