Seminars and Clinics are scheduled throughout the training season depending upon where the information is appropriate. Here are a few of our standard events. Click here to go to the store for a current list and to sign up for an event or for more information.

Seminars

"Getting Started" - Follow our successes and don't repeat our mistakes. Learn the basics of cycling and how to develop a training program specific to you and where to spend your cycling dollars so you will get the most benefit.

"Cycling Physiology" - Cycling physiology is different from any other sport because the bike supports our weight and we can use gears to change the workload. Learn about your body's three energy systems, how it adapts to exercise, and how we designed the Midlife Cycling training program to achieve specific fitness results.

"Cycling Nutrition" - Learn how your body converts food to energy. Incorrect eating, on or off the bike, may be limiting your performance instead of poor conditioning. You will learn how to determine which foods, sports drinks, gels, and other nutrients are best for your body and riding. We recommend that you take the "Cycling Physiology" seminar or watch the physiology DVD before taking this seminar.

Clinics

"Climbing" - climbing well is what separates the elite cyclist from the ordinary. Along the Front Range it is essential to be comfortable climbing if you want to ride the most scenic parts of Colorado. And, what goes up must come down, so we will also work on descending with high-speed cornering.

"Speed" - long, slow riding produces long, slow cyclists. Real cycling is an active sport much like a tennis game is relative to hitting the ball against a wall. You need explosive acceleration and precise bike handling at high speed. The famous "interval training" is used to build this conditioning. Done incorrectly, intervals can actually hurt your conditioning so come and learn to do them properly.

For Women Only - climbing and speed clinics can quickly turn into a testosterone-fest. Or, you may be afraid that you might ask a "stupid question." The Midlife Cycling Women's Only clinics are not watered-down versions of the standard clinics. The information is just taught from a different perspective and a more group/nurturing environment. After all, a lot of our men clients come to us only after their wife or girlfriend start riding better than them.
