Rollfast

09/18/2026

If you're over 40 and still want to be fast, here's the honest problem: you own a power meter and three apps, and your last hard ride told you "it was hard." Raw data without expert interpretation is just noise. Rollfast Coaching closes that gap.

Your plan is built in blocks on the Rollfast Standard — zones pegged to your VO2 ceiling, not a percentage of FTP.

Matt Tanner and Matt Breeden read your rides and adjust your week. And DOM, our AI analyst, grades every single workout across six dimensions and emails you a report card the same way a coach would write it: what happened, what it means, what changes next week.

Full coaching is $300 a month.

To all the Roundabout Riders!

Thank You for a great event!

Congratulations. You showed up for the 2026 Bike Carmel Roundabout Ride, rolled out of Midtown Plaza on Sunday, and helped us put 144 registered riders on course, the biggest field we have ever had, in the first year we offered the Cool Creek Family Health 10-mile Wellness Route alongside the 25 and the 50. However many miles you chose, you earned that finish.

Saturday tried to drown the whole weekend, and then Sunday gave us the morning we needed: a little fog at the start, warmth once we were rolling, mixed sun and clouds, and a dry course all the way to the 1 p.m. close. From where I was standing, that felt like the whole field beating the weather together.

The day had some real highlights worth sitting with. Tim Griffin got the plaza loud before we rolled, the Carmel High School Ambassadors sang the anthem, and Luke Kite was playing when you came back in. After you finished, you picked up food and drink tickets so you did not have to carry them on the bike, then you got Fillers stuffed burgers and Fork + Ale in the plaza instead of last year's beer tent. That new party setup looked like a celebration you actually wanted to linger in.

None of that happens without the volunteer crew who ran check-in, rest stops, vendor setup, sweep, mechanic support, and cleanup. If you see them around town this week, please give them a high-five for making your ride feel taken care of.

Lastly, thank you to this year's sponsors. The logos below are a big part of why we could throw a party in Midtown Plaza worth coming back for.

Thank you for being part of Bike Carmel and for giving year six a finish you can be proud of. I will see you on the next ride.

Keep riding! Coach Matt

Most workouts end when you hit "save" on your Garmin.

Ours doesn't.

After you finish a Rollfast workout, DOM Ai reads the file and sends you a letter-graded report. It scores how you executed the prescription: power, precision, zones, recovery, the decisions you made when it got hard. You get it the same day, while the ride is still in your legs.

Most coaching hands you workouts and waits for you to notice you're stuck. We built the daily report card on purpose, for Masters cyclists who care about Speed, Strength, and Longevity, not another season of junk miles.

You also get something almost nobody else offers at this level: a live weekly group Zoom with your coaches and the other athletes. Real talk, real cues, not a chatbot and a PDF.

On our call today, Dan put numbers on it. "Averaged 22 mph alone across 52 miles", and he didn't empty the tank. That kind of fitness shows up when you follow the week as written and get an honest grade after. Group ride averages are borrowed. Solo speed is yours.

Curious what a DOM report looks like?

If you want that loop with a coach in your corner (custom plan, weekly group Zoom, 1:1 attention, DOM after every ride), we have a few openings for new 1:1 athletes.

I got home from Florida heavier and slower. I didn't change a thing about my eating, and here's why.

This week the scale told me I got fatter and my power meter told me I got slower. Same week. Both lying.

I spent a week training in Florida heat. Nutrition dialed, more volume than I do at home, and I still watched my weight climb AND my watts fall apart. One session I aborted in 91-degree heat, six bottles in two hours, and just called it a bust.

Here's what I had to remind myself, because most riders panic right here and do the exact wrong thing:

In the heat, your body builds extra blood plasma to cool itself. That's real water weight, and it's one of the best endurance adaptations there is. Your power sags in the moment because blood is going to your skin instead of your muscles. So the heat hits you twice, but neither number is fat, and neither is lost fitness. It's the down payment on a faster engine come fall.

The worst move? Cutting calories in the exact week your body is working hardest.

I put the whole thing in this week's post, my actual Garmin data, and the story of how the heat wrecked me at a 6-hour World Championship in the desert.

Today I was coaching my friend Dre on our club ride.

I noticed she was really stiff when riding. She said "I'm like a machine".

True. I told her to loosen up her shoulders and move side to side to create some more efficiency.

Almost immediately she started riding faster.

Then we worked on some cornering technique. She picked it up super fast!

The key is keeping your center of gravity over the tires where they meet the road.

1️⃣ I tell my athletes to stay with the inside knee pointing out and intimidate the corner of the turn.

2️⃣ Load all your weight on the pedal that is down.

3️⃣ Shift your butt to the "high side" of the saddle.

4️⃣ Bend your elbows and get low, but move your shoulders are over the wheels.

Comment if you have questions!

OH yeah... Dre got a QOM 👑 when she lowered her shoulders too!
