Meredith W. warms your legs on a gentle hill before sending you up a long climb, into hill attacks, and through a drill that alternates flat cadence with heavy climbing. Sprints bring it home.

This ride is about increasing your fitness level, along with building up the strength and stamina of those legs. We start out on a gentle hill to make sure you get those muscles loose and warm, so you can hit it hard as we run to the base of our first nice long hill climb. After reaching the peak, the road flattens out for some well deserved recovery. You'll need to recover quickly though, because we head directly into hill climb attacks, followed by an almost 13 min drill that alternates between a high cadence flat road and a heavy hill climb. To bring it home, we finish with a couple of fat torching sprints into a nice endurance flat. It's pretty awesome.

    LOVED THIS CLASS! I really enjoy drills that (somewhat) quickly transition in pace and position. It just makes classes fly by. Also helps to have a great instructor. Thank you, Mere!
