Cycle Drills & Skills

Wizards in Winter

11/25/2009

The song title is fitting for the time of year we are moving into - WINTER. This cycle drill is more suited to mid to advanced cycle participants. Using the song "Wizards in Winter" a combination of sprints and power (increased resistance and cadence) can be timed to coincide with the instruments used.

Set resistance at moderate or slightly higher to get your best sprint work/small recovery tension. Power (either seated or standing) requires participants to up the resistance and maintain increased cadence.

Get ready for a 3 minute ride of your life!

Sprint (5-6 s); 100+ rpm
Quick break (2- 8s) ; 80-90 rpm
