The fastest cyclists will put in training time during Winter and Spring. How fast do you want to be for the upcoming season?
Here's what it looks like:
Workouts will post in the documents section on Stack TeamApp,
Anyone who plans to do the preseason workouts will need the following:
A Wahoo speed sensor is $39, the Garmin Speed Sensor 2 is $34. Both serve the same purpose. Both will pair to the Wahoo app on your phone, and the app can be linked to Strava. Either sensor can strap to your rear hub and record distance, speed and time for your training sessions.
Let us know if you have questions. Our coaches can walk you through it.
Please consider pre-season race opportunities. Pedalfest is traditionally held the 3rd weekend of May.
The Intermountain Cup series in Utah is a great series. Please take advantage of any and all races leading up to July. It gives you great experience and lets you measure up with competitive riders in your age group. https://www.redrockbicycle.com/articles/intermountain-cup-pg1261.htm
Want to train but don’t have a trainer?
Our team purchased 3 Feedback Sports trainers for riders to use during the off season. They can adapt to be used on most any size or type of bicycle. These can be checked out for the Winter/Spring for preparation for our season. Since these are limited in number if you choose to utilize one you will be expected to fully participate in the preseason training plan.
If you are interested, please contact Russ Bartholet or Jordon Marshall to get you set up.
Please text, email or call with any questions. Happy winter training!

Strength Intro
Here’s the progression folks. All of our home strength sessions will go in this order with the changes being the exercises in each section and sets and reps. After a few weeks this will be easy to do and remember.
**You should be able to complete each Strength workout in 45min - 1hr. easy...
The key here is not to do fancy complicated lifts, but to do basic, but important movements over and over for weeks and months and years to continue getting stronger and avoid getting injured.
Strength training, if done consistently, will make you a stronger, faster cyclist!
Hansen Athletics has created an off-the-bike training program for aspiring race winners! They provide a strength program that can be done remotely at home or in their gym. You will have access to strength certified individual coaches/trainers that can help you along the way.
