Welcome to the 2023 USA Cycling Level 2 Pre-Clinic Preparation Course.
The goal of this online training course is to provide the training and sport science knowledge you need to be prepared for discussion during the in-person USA Cycling Level 2 Capstone Clinic.

You’ll read articles, watch videos, and listen to podcasts from the likes of Joe Friel, Dr. Stephen Seiler, Dr. Inigo San Milan, as well as Fast Talk regulars Grant Holicky, Rob Pickels, and Trevor Connor.
