We had an excellent kick off to the 2011 Peddler Dirt Derby last week and we’re back this week with another Tuesday night of racing with a new racing class and a beginner cyclocross clinic.

–Dust off your old beach cruiser bikes, bmx bikes, borrow a kids bike or ride a singlespeed anything for a quick one-lap race around the course in our new Cruiser Class right after the Intermediate CX race and just before the Open race. It’s free, and it’s fun.

–Austin on Two Wheels is pleased to offer a free beginner cyclocross clinic each Tuesday beginning at 5:45 out at The Peddler Dirt Derby. They’ll cover dismounts and remounts, running barrier, shouldering the bike, dealing with run ups, and an overview of cyclocross equipment. No experience necessary, all types of bike are welcome and then put your new skills to the test right afterwards in our Beginner CX Race.

–In addition, we’ll have some racers from the North American Cycle Courier Championships racing as they begin a week-long bike messenger throwdown all right here in Austin.

Plus, a regular night of fun racing at The Peddler Dirt Derby! Kids Race, Beginner Race, two intermediate races and then our Open Race provide a night full of cyclocross and MTB excitement. And we’ll have free Luna bar samples that were supposed to be given out last week but were then forgot about!

We hope to see y’all out again this Tuesday,
