Classes have no ability criteria, however they are designed to progress you toward a goal or event . It doesn’t matter if you are preparing for a cycling vacation, a Gran Fondo, riding off the front in a cycling event, striving for a personal best time, or simply wanting to commute more safely and competently – we want you to have goals and be motivated to achieve them . We progress through the winter season with structured, coached classes . We don’t make pretty sets of choreography to simply pass the time . We spend our precious time in the saddle getting more competent on the bike . We get pumped about challenging ourselves, riding outside, and maybe participating in an event . There are no egos – everyone is the same speed on a trainer . The bottom line: good company, great music, and smart sessions .
