Trainer Ride

[rob reddy]

Great news - we have been able to secure an
opportunity for New Vision Cycling to hold a special
"Pre Holiday Trainer Session" for CTC members.

If you are not familure with New Vision
www.newvisioncycling.com - this is the brain child
of Dave Harner (CTC Member) and Pete Gladden (Coach)
who discussed their offering with us at the October
LC meeting. I had the chance to test ride the 2
hour trainer session and was blow away! The work
out was definitely challenging (but like any trainer
ride you can self regulate the intensity) - but more
importantly the coaching aspect and technical
ridding instruction were first rate. I walked away
from this class learning that I have a long way to
go to improve my peddle stroke and to become a
better cyclist.

We will be holding a 2 hour ride on Saturday 24
December in West Lake (at the US Speed Skating
Offices just off route 90) from 8 - 10 a.m.. I realise
this may not be the very best date for everyone.
However if you are in town and want a chance to burn
off some of those per-holiday calories plan to attend.

You will need your bike, trainer, water bottles, cycling clothes, trainer bloc, and heart rate monitor (optional).

There is a $10 charge from New Vision for taking
this class - very reasonable and by far the best $10
I have spent on cycling coaching EVER.

PLEASE RSVP TO ME VIA E-MAIL BEFORE 21 DECEMBER -

I would like to thank everyone in advance for participating in Pete Gladden's and my New Vision Cycling on this Saturday the 24th. After doing 3 of these classes I am surprised how my technique has improved so quickly and how much better I understand why you do specific training drills. Same as with swimming and running. Thanks Rob on the swimming drills and tips. We welcome any feedback after the class. We will have plenty of towels for your use and gel packs for everyone. Also we will have a 5 gallon jug of Gatorade which will be 50% water.

As of now we have 2 uncommitted trainers available if any one else is interested in trying this.

For the trainer ride Saturday - here are some more details...


Plan to arrive between 7:40 - 7:45 to have time to
set your self up.

You will need your trainer, bike, appropriate
clothes, water bottles, heart rate monitor, block
and a smile.

David and Pete will provide Gatoraid.

The class will last 2 hours and be over at 10 a.m.

The address for US Spreedskating is: 31257-A Clemens
Rd, Westlake OH 44145.

Directions - from you home get to 90 - you will exit
90 at exit 156-Crocker Bassett Rds. At the end of
the off ramp you want to head NORTH towards Bay
Village. Within 1/4 mile (or less if coming from
the east) you will come to a stop light with a BP
station on your right and a Holiday Inn on the left.
Turn LEFT onto Clemens Rd. 30257 Clemmens is on
the LEFT side. It sits back off the road in an
industrial/business plaza. The front door to US
Speedskating faces 90 the rear of the building has
an entrance to the warehouse. Will probably be
easiest to unload your bike/trainer at the rear of
the building.
