Performance Level Improvement

We all want to be our best at cycling and earn the greatest reward for our sacrifice of diet and exercise.  Most of the time we see flashes of what is possible in ourselves when everything lines up just right.   But more often than not, riders find their "form" goes up and down without a carefully crafted path of continual improvement. 

What's missing?   A Velo-Cadence coach who understands your current  abilities and experience. We are committed to finding what is missing from your training, identify your weakness' and train it into extinction.

Starts with an initial Rider Assessment: measureing: of wattage, lactate threshold, HR Training Zones, Cadence Analysis, Individual Right + Left Leg power differential and optimization of position for $100 and two, 1 - hour Training Sessions at $50 each

Group Riding & Etiquette

Riding solo can be a great way to clear your mind, relieve stress and enjoy the simplicity of you and your machine covering distance and time without interruption and at anyone else's speed.
The beauty of riding in groups quite simply can be just the opposite;  it challenges your mind to stay incredibly focused, causes you to ride at someone else's pace which is usually harder than you would on your own.  Oh yeah and it's a great social outlet!
Over the years Matt has led, and followed thousands of group rides around the country, learning the many "ins and outs" of pack or group riding.  Especially how to stay safe and avoid incidents and accidents that can greatly curtail your cycling training or general enjoyment of cycling.

1 /2 Hour class + 1 Hour Group Ride Session:  $60

Proper bike fit and comfort

The foundation for your own rhythm on a bicycle begins with proper bike fit from a professional bike fitter.  Velo-Cadence works with certified techniques and nationally recognized fitting programs to place it's students in the most efficient cycling positions possible.  
  In bike fitting as in everything Velo-Cadence  can do for you, Matt brings together for you his knowledge of cutting edge cycling technology and decades of old-school experience.  This unique symmetry gives each and every Velo-Cadence pupil the most natural performance integration between rider and machine possible.

Velo-Cadence fitting is NOT just a rider on a trainer with measurements and adjustments being made to her or his machine.  It IS an evolution of several integrations; from in the salon expert fitting, to on the road adjustments, understood through practical bio-mechanical education of the rider and maintained with on-the-road feed back and coaching.  Only with all of these elements can the optimal position required for complete comfort and total power output be achieved. 

Fitting Packages start @ $150 with a multitude of features and options for all levels of cyclists desiring a better ride.
