Cycle-Smart

Who turned up the heat? 🥵
With a heat wave sweeping New England today and tomorrow, it’s critical not to train intensity on these hot days without proper heat adaptation first. For most of our athletes, Z2 is sufficient and will allow for gradual heat adaptation.
Let your HR guide you, and remember: goose bumps are an early warning sign your body is over heating!

Spring has been moody in New England 🌧️🥶

As tempting as it can be to go bare-legged at the first hint of sunshine, keep your knees covered until it’s over 65° F.

There is a lot of superstition and tradition around when it’s warm enough to take your leg warmers off. Err on the side of being warm while training to promote blood flow, oxygen transport, neuromuscular activity, range of motion, injury prevention, and even a small amount of heat adaptation. 🌞

More than 15 Cycle-Smart athletes competed at Paris to Ancaster in Hamilton, Ontario, last month.

From age-group victories to personal bests, our athletes thrived in the epic conditions this race always delivers!

Coaches Al Donahue and Adam Myerson were on site providing race insights and leading recon rides to help the athletes scout lines and talk strategy ahead of race day.

Tori Glascock rode to 5th overall in the elite women’s Cento.
Coach Adam Myerson won the men’s M45-55 Cento.
Tanya Boulanova was first in the F30-34 Classic.
Joy Franco won the F35-44 Cento.
John Sakalowsky won the M55-64 Cento.
