Cycling 102 – Understanding your Gears and how to make them work for you
$40.00
DATE: Saturday 12/22/18
Our bike’s gears are one of the most important components on our bicycles in terms of helping us ride efficiently and strategically. Using them should feel as natural as breathing, with shifting becoming second nature in response to the slightest changes in grade and wind.
However, as intimidating as this may sound, it need not be! Our gears make use of simple math equations, and using them makes use of our science and artistic minds….but understanding what goes into this makes it so that we do this automatically while riding. This is HUGE! It CAN be the difference between being on the podium, or not! (And it can be the difference between a well-played hilly or windy bike ride, or one that leaves your legs dead for the run.)
This NEW clinic will have participants looking closely at THEIR bike(s)’ gears, going through some math equations (please do NOT let this scare you off, however! We will help you with this!) to know what their different gears allow them to do, and then putting bikes on our CompuTrainer machines to test out HOW to shift on hilly terrain, smartly.
There may be no better or more practical “instruction-to-actual-performance” lessons out there to learn when it comes to cycling. This class is designed for ALL cyclists, regardless of your current knowledge or understanding of your bike, and regardless of what your own personal ability level or experience level is!

$45.00Cycling can be as basic as simply pushing your pedals down to move your bike forward, but what if you could use your body and core to efficiently propel your bike forward? What if you could efficiently pedal with the hips and legs so that every pedal stroke became purposeful? What if the pedal stroke was broken down so that every portion of the stroke made the bike move quicker, enabling the cyclist to become more efficient and more powerful?

This program is coached by Joe LoPresto. For over a decade, Coach Joe has helped hundreds of adults learn to swim and follow their dream of completing a triathlon.“Recently Fitness Magazine made a call for stories. Their question… “Have you met a fitness person who changed your life? We’re looking for women who met someone significant in their lives through a fitness activity or sport.” This made me think about my first triathlon. I wanted to do one, but could not swim. A friend suggested I get a coach. That’s when I found the amazing, Coach Joe LoPresto. I would not have been able to do this without his kind heart, patience, and coaching. The triathlon event was the scariest and most fun I’ve had. I didn’t have anyone waiting at the end of the tri for me, but as I leaving, there was Coach Joe and his heart warming hugs. With amazing people around you amazing things can happen.” – Angie D.
