Cycle Training

You will need to set aside several hours per week to accommodate your training schedule. Your coaches will provide you with a full group and daily training schedule to use as your mileage guide throughout the season. Groups sessions are held once a weekend and rotate between Saturday and Sunday mornings at various locations around the area. These are not mandatory to attend but are a lot of fun and very beneficial. Coaches also cover all relevant cycling topics at clinics before/after training and in weekly email updates. These topics include: bike maintenance, riding etiquette, how to fix a flat, safety and more.

While cycling can potentially include a lot of gadgets and gear there are only a couple must have items. First, all participants must have their own bike (road, hybrid and mountain bikes will all work). Also, helmets are REQUIRED at all team rides and on race day. For your own safety you should NEVER ride without a properly fitting helmet. Any other gear (clips, cycling shoes, etc) are extras and not mandatory.

If you need to purchase any items during the season Team In Training has relationships with a number of local shops that provide discounts to our participants. Before purchasing equipment, we would advise you to contact the TNT Coaches.
