Description: What causes an energy “bonk”? How do you avoid “cracking” on a climb? What’s the best way to improve mitochondrial performance? Should you ride harder into a headwind or with a tailwind at your back – and why should crosswinds be tackled diagonally? Can rougher fabrics sometimes be more aerodynamic? Is the peloton a superorganism and should we be afraid?Cycling melds the human body to an engineering marvel, pitting it against geography, gravity, and the elements. Examine the varied and remarkable science of the bicycle, cyclist, and race. Understand how to boost the watts-to-kilogram ratio on the road, perfect cycling form, and create a full-spectrum training program of varied session rides, targeted strength exercises, bike handling practice, and efficient fueling regimes to help you get fitter, leaner, faster--and freer to roam.

Objectives: • Explain how the cycling human body interacts with geography, gravity, and the elements. • Understand how to boost the watts-to-kilogram ratio on the road, perfect cycling form, and create a full-spectrum training program. • Describe methods to optimize cycling fitness, leanness, and endurance.
