New to Cyclocross or just want to practice skills?

Kissena is heading to Cunnigham park the weekend of Sept 10th to learn/practice the fine art of mounts, dismounts, barriers, shouldering, and cornering. 

This is is a good opportunity for newbies to learn the basics or the initiated to practice skills. 

WHEN: the morning of Saturday or Sunday (10th or 11th) based on the availability of majority of interested club members.

WHERE: Cunnigham park (specific directions to follow - can ride there from Brooklyn but  members with cars are encouraged to offer carpooling)

WHAT YOU NEED: a cross bike with knobby tires, plenty of water to drink and spare tubes

WHY: because cross is awesome

Respond below with which day or days you are available.

Open to all members regardless of experience and skill level. More ore details will follow
Sunday Sept 11th.

I'm good with either 10th or 11th.

Jules I don't think you sacrificed enough goats on the eve of the last lunar eclipse which is why you rolled it.

Yeah, it's definitely that. Or maybe the two year old glue. Probably the goats though. But to be honest I don't even know where I left my sacrificial goat-killing spoon, or the durid's cloak you're supposed to put on the animal beforehand.

Sounds like most people responded with a thumbs up for this coming Sunday the 11th on the other thread.

Any other takers?
I'm pretty sure I can make it on Sunday the 11th. I will confirm by Thursday. I have room for a few more in my car, leaving from Park Slope.
I can take 1 in my car as well leaving from Prospect Heights.

I am going up for the 3/4 race at Noon. 1 spot in my car, leaving Brooklyn around 7:30AM, and leaving shortly after the race finishes. I could leave Brooklyn earlier if you have a morning race.

Come get dirty!

Thanks Dan, didn't know we had a dedicated CX training thread. Duh
I am hoping to have a cooler with ice and beverages at the clinic. Please RSVP in this thread if you are attending. Members who already said they would come don't need to rsvp
Count me in. I'll be riding from Astoria.
Eloy, you have a spot reserved.
Thanks, Jim!

(we don't need a "cyclocross training" separate from the "cyclocross" thread, less is more, but whateves)

Threads merged, ala Orange hooded Borg.

Jim
I will take a seat if you still have one.  
You got it Dale.

I still have room for one more.

Plan to leave Park Slope at 8:15 and leave Cunningham at noon.
Jim, unless you have another request, I'll take that last seat.
Its yours Dan.
