Our training rides will be loosely based on bicycling.com's Eight Week Plan. We will be expanding the plan to 13 weeks which will allow for rain dates (if only!) and supplemental charity rides. After completing this plan, you will be ready to tackle Tour de Cure's 103 mile loop with ease. For several rides, we've provided an alternative charity ride for the shop-led ride. The charity rides provide sag and support (especially for the longer rides), and your contributions will go a long way to help sustain that charity.
Training rides will leave Sundays from the shop at 8am sharp. Our average pace should be 14-16 mph. We will not ride in rain or temperatures lower than 40 degrees. We will post updates, rainouts and other information on our Facebook page.
To make this endeavour more enjoyable, we'll be adding incentives:
- Goodie Raffles on rides with five or more participants
- $25 SWCS gift certificates for those who participate in seven or more training rides.
- Totally Therapeutic Massage gift certificates for those riders who participate in five or more training rides AND complete the 103 mile Tour de Cure route.
