CYCLOCROSS TRAINING SERIES

  • 5th annual weekly training series is free and open to riders of all levels.
  • The series will consist of weekly group workouts over a 1.2 mile course with barriers and run ups.
  • The goal of the series is to give area riders a natural progression into the cyclocross season so they begin the race season fully prepared and adapted to the dismounts and rhythm unique to cross.
  • The earlier workouts are easier and less difficult, with more focus on form and technique. Workouts will progress to shorter and more intense interval sessions as the 5-week series progresses.
  • Interval distances will range from 3-40 min. Riders assess themselves a staggered start for each interval based on their estimated abilities.
  • Recommended staggers are every 15 seconds. With one minute stagger per 6 minutes of interval time (In other words, if the interval is 12 minutes, there will be riders starting, by their own judgment, every 15 seconds with the final riders starting 2 minutes after the first word ‘go").
  • After the training ride, during the first 2 to 3 weeks, some of the more experienced cross riders will stick around to help and answer any questions for those new to cyclocross.
  • Charlie Storm will lead the workouts.
