Testimonials:
"This class took me from my first ever bike race to the State Championship race this fall. Ted’s training plan built fitness while honing the skills needed for cross racing. I got stronger, faster and had more fun training than ever before." - E. G., 2011 IL Cyclocross State Champion, Cat 4.
"I picked up cyclocross with no bike handling experience of any type. I wanted to improve my bike-handling skills and also stay in shape after the triathlon season. CX ended up being a perfect solution. I'm very fortunate and grateful that I had Coach Ted help prepare me with a well-designed race strategy to have both successful races and a full CX season." - R. K., Category 4 ChiCrossCup Champion 2009
"Ted, thanks for all the help this season. I learned a ton and am already looking forward to next season. I'm hooked on cross!" -S. B. Cat 4 racer
"This was a great class where we learned a lot from Ted both during practice and at races. He was more than willing to help address problem areas, such as off-camber turns and high-speed dismounts. He was also generous with great advice on dealing with tricky segments of each course, as well as at practice prior to race day. It felt great to cover the "basics" in each Saturday practice. Just wanted to let you know I was more than pleased with the class." -M. B. Cat 3/ Masters racer
