Training Tips

Transitioning from skiing to cycling is always a spring health challenge but it’s one we are ready for! The sun is sparkling; the weather is warm and leaves and flowers are budding. It’s time to prepare for all the fantastic summer rides offered in Colorado like the SOSOutreach Colorado Eagle River Ride.

Here are some cycling training tips to keep in mind that will have you pedaling up the passes in no time!
