Winter training is coming


The leaves are falling, the air is cooling, it is literally perfect riding weather. Unfortunately as we all know this will not last forever. Pretty soon it will be cold as an eskimo's undercarriage and we will be forced to the confines of the winter spin room. We are excited to have the opportunity to use this as a platform for meeting potential racers and riders therefore the first two sessions will not be so intense. Mainly just intervals and cardio and our spinning games. The Contador paced hill slug sessions will be at a later time.

The games will include.

I hate you. You Suck. My Turn!
-Get in a circle and everyone gets about 8 minutes where they control what everyone does. And you literally can do whatever you want. Painfully easy spin, painfully difficult spin, hill slug fest, make everyone get off the bike and do planks, water break, Wendy's run... whatever


F*$! the fan
-10 minute interval session, when the fan blows by you spin as fast as you can until the fan comes back.... repeat. 5 minutes in you are obliged to proclaim "F the fan" every time the fan comes by you.


Strugglebus
-Do what Marten does for an hour and a half


Paintrain
- TTT simulation, everyone starts off at the same cadence, the first one at the front goes up 2 cranks in resistance and each subsequent person behind him is 1/4 of a crank behind the person in front of them. The person at the front says when his pull is over.


Powerhour
-Easy spin one song, hard spin on the next... repeat until legs loose feeling. *You are required to follow Dave in complaining how the hard songs are always longer than the easy songs*


Grit your teeth and squeeze your cheeks 
*To be done before black mo* Easy spin 10 minutes... 2-3/ 15 minute high intensity hill climb simulations... If you think you might pass out you are doing it correctly.


Movienight
-Marten brings in a corny awesome DVD of cyclists with random sound effects that correspond to pain.. Instructions inside.


Attack
-Hill climb race... The person who attacks the most amount of times wins.... If you want to stay in the race, you have to attack when they do.

And remember!
