Clinics

Equipping people with bike knowledge and resources keeps everyone on the bike longer and riding more safely.

Skills Clinics

Friends of FoCo Fondo skills clinics are designed to help riders feel more confident, capable, and prepared for their time on the bike. Through a mix of in-person clinics and educational sessions, participants can choose the topics that fit their goals, from gravel basics and equipment know-how to training, fueling, and performance-focused learning. Whether you are gravel-curious, riding casually, or chasing big goals, these clinics offer practical education, supportive instruction, and flexible ways to learn so you can show up ready to ride strong. Thank you to supporters like Source Endurance for helping us provide these clinics for a low fee.

Women’s Clinic

Our women’s gravel clinic with the Fort Follies is a weekend-long experience designed to build skills, confidence, and community for women and non-binary cyclists. Led by experienced NoCo gravel pros, the clinic combines hands-on skills education for beginner through intermediate/advanced riders with lunch, breakout sessions, Q&A time, and space to connect with other riders. The weekend continues with an optional women’s training ride on Sunday, giving participants a chance to put their skills into action and prepare for a FoCo Fondo route. It’s a fun, supportive weekend of bikes, learning, and rad women, with a special FoCo Fondo discount for all clinic participants.

Mechanic Nights

Our tech talks and mechanic nights help riders better understand their bikes, enabling them to ride with more confidence and fewer surprises. Through hands-on classes and educational talks, participants learn the fundamentals of bike maintenance, components, and setup, with a focus on wheels, tires, drivetrain, and other key wear points. Whether you want to turn your own wrenches or simply make smarter choices about your gear, these sessions offer practical education to help you care for your bike and get the most out of every ride. Thank you to WTB for hepling make these events happen!
