Skills and Confidence Clinic
First Miles of the Season with NOWcc
No Ordinary Women welcomes all female and non-binary riders to join our First Miles of the Season. Are you interested in becoming part of the NOWcc community? Or have you been part of NOWcc for a while and ready to leave winter behind? To kick-off the season we are organising four events to ease into the first miles of warm and sunny springtime. You can join any individual date or sign up for all events. Check out our LUMA page to sign up for the other events.
Skills & Confidence Clinic
We’re continuing our First Miles of the Season series with a Skills & Confidence Clinic — an evening focused on building confidence on the bike, sharpening your technique, and practicing key group riding skills together.
Whether you’re looking to improve your cornering, feel more comfortable riding in a group, or simply want to grow your confidence on the road, this session is designed to help you ride smoother and stronger.
The clinic will be led by our very own Maya and Iris, two experienced riders with a background in road racing. They’ll break down core cycling techniques and guide us through practical exercises to build confidence on the bike.
What we’ll work on
Body position on the bike
Cornering
Drafting and riding in a group
We’ll finish the evening by putting everything into practice on the road.
