Ready to get started?

It starts with gumption.

You’re going on a cycling vacation but aren’t sure you’re ready.  We’re here to help: 

No matter how you say it, 'doing cardio' isn't particularly inspiring, but you changed all that by making exercise part of your adventure. Not only is your approach clever, but it's also motivating and comes with built-in rewards! We’re here to ensure you’re supported, fit, ready, and energized. So thank you for letting us be a partner, and welcome! In the words of Jon Acuff, author of 'Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done':

Make Training Fun!

The crazy thing is that the aggressively nonfun approach doesn’t work. It might make you look good on Instagram as you impress your friends with your miserable grind, but scientifically speaking, joyless goals fail.

When you study goal setting you look at a variety of statistical factors, but the two most interesting are: (1) satisfaction, and (2) performance success. One speaks to how you felt about the process and the second focuses on what you actually got done. A great finishing principle will dramatically increase both. It doesn’t do either of us any good if I teach you something that increases your satisfaction but decreases your performance success. You’ll be smiling all the way to last place. And if your performance success soars while your satisfaction plummets, you’ll be a miserable winner.

This isn’t a race and you don't need to train like it is. We’ve done everything possible to soften the approach so it feels doable while still preparing you for multiple days on a bike. You get to choose the goals, and while we provide all the training materials, our focus is on the coaching. We know other products use AI and bots to simulate support, but real one-on-one coaching makes the difference, and that’s our commitment - to be there when you need us!
