Full house today with the never ending winter

Here is a great illustration of how the rider's phenotype affects the outcome of a surge-oriented workout. Note the difference between an endurance-oriented (think Ironman) athlete vs a surge-oriented (a puncher/breakaway rider) vs a sprint-oriented (pure track sprinter) cyclist. The closer the coloured line gets to 0%, the more demanding it is for that type of cyclist!

Voici une excellente illustration de la manière dont le phénotype du cycliste influe sur les résultats d'un entraînement axé sur les poussées. Notez la différence entre un athlète axé sur l'endurance (comme un Ironman), un cycliste axé sur les poussées (un puncheur/échappiste) et un cycliste axé sur le sprint (un sprinteur pur sur piste). Plus la ligne colorée se rapproche de 0 %, plus l'entraînement est exigeant pour ce type de cycliste !

Thanks to the coaches for putting on classes specifically targeting style, pacing, power curve, surging, transitioning, and pedal stroke.

Great class on bike fit and pedal stroke led by Gail.

Enjoying a Saturday morning ride at the studio.

As the outdoor cycling season winds down, the 2025-2026 PowerWatts indoor cycling season starts on Monday October 13. The regular four weekly workouts focus on building power, and improving cycling techniques. In addition, there are specific gamification events throughout the season such as the Endurance Series, Stage Races, Tolerance Towers, and the Surge Gauntlets, to make the workouts lots of fun. If you are looking for an engaging group cycling experience, come check us out. The first ride is free!!!

Many thanks to Tom, Gail and Anthony for the cycling technique clinics they coached. The clinics focused on pedal stroke, breathing, elements of style, cadence, climbing, standing, and transitioning from sitting to standing and back to sitting.

Anthony and Gab in the 2025 Cookie Race. Anthony finished first in the 25 km race.

Congratulations to Geoff Coe on his first place finish in the Canmore 10kms fat bike race last weekend.
