Spring is in the air and Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) is ready with many of our spring programs in place.
The roads and streets are drying quickly and soon you will have the urge to dust off your bicycle and start riding. The Grand Forks Cycling Club will be offering a road safety riding clinic on Monday, April 22 and a group riding skills clinic on Wednesday, April 24.
The two clinics will start at the Grand Forks Arena parking lot at 6 p.m.
There is no fee for the two clinics but we ask that you pre-register.
GFREC and the Grand Forks Cycling Club have partnered together to offer the community this opportunity to learn road safety while enjoying our great rural environment.

The registration fee is $45 per person for four, two-hour classes. Deadline to register is April 2.
