Century Rides (Cycle)

Team In Training's cycling program offers the opportunity to take on the challenge of 100 miles and make a difference in the lives of an estimated 912,938 Americans living with blood cancers. Along with a customized training program and expert coaching, participants train with a local group of like-minded individuals for motivation and inspiration.

Prerequisites

The Team In Training^� (TNT) cycle programs are open to participants with any and all levels of biking experience and fitness level - from absolute beginners to experienced racers. Within each program, participants are divided into groups by preferred riding speed.

Training Program

TNT cycle coaches have designed three-to five-month training programs that prepare participants for the rides and tours. Participants will train and work directly with the coaches at weekly training sessions. (Coaches are also available throughout the week to answer training and fitness-related questions.) There will be one coached workout every weekend, usually on Saturday. Additionally, there will be midweek "buddy rides" midweek led by assistant coaches and other volunteers.

Participants receive complete workout schedules for the season. Three levels of program are provided for participants with different levels of cycling skills and experience. The program consists of daily workout schedules, team workouts on Saturdays and occasional weeknights, clinics on nutrition, proper bike and clothing selection and injury prevention.
