Workshops

In clinics we just sit and talk about cycling. In workshops, we talk about cycling and then go ride! Our Hill Night is just one example. It is geared to help you learn about Power/Weight ratio and how to improve your POWER, so that you have stronger legs for climbing hills.

Hill Night is Coming!

Dates TBA

This is where the rubber meets the road, literally. Hill Night is an outdoor interval training session that uses hills for resistence - and spices it up with changing gear combinations and other items to make a simple yet effective training session out of a ride around the neighborhood. I have been sharing this workout with area cyclists for years - and many of them still use it to help them build more power for better climbing. We meet at Heights Park in Richardson (Floyd Road just south of Arapaho Road), ready to ride out at 6:30PM. We ride for 2 hours and the cost is $20 per person. Space is limited. Our next workout is TBA. Once you reserve a spot, we will send you the locator map and other information.
