Peak to Peak Training Race Series on South Table Mtn
Our race series has added a few more co-sponsoring clubs for 2023: VR7 Colorado Cycling Team, Reynolds Roofing and Stem Cider Racing. And, we are excited to announce that Barrels and Bottles located on South Golden Road will be a supportive sponsor for prizes AND a free drink (beer or otherwise) each race night with the presentation of your race number!
Our original race date for the Antelope Stampede was September 16th, 2023. Unfortunately, Gravel National Championships was announced to occur on September 9th and 10th in Gering, NE, only 45 miles from our event in Kimball. We recognize that participants were likely not willing to return to the same region of Nebraska TWO weekends in a row. So, we are moving the date of our gravel event up to Aug 12, 2023 with the hopes that riders may come to preview the terrain and the gravel conditions of the region as a warmup to National Championships. Like last year, our event will be very family friendly with activities for the whole family. While Mom and Dad are out on course, local area school teachers and parents are available to entertain the kids with face painting, bouncy houses, pie eating contests, games and contests. Check our upcoming webpage for a list of activities. All racers will be treated with a free post race bbq and refreshments. Also, post race showers are available at the public pool only a block away from the finish.
Peak to Peak Indoor Training Series Fall, Winter & Spring Training Sessions:
The Fall, Winter and Spring Training Series will focus on a variety of efforts and systems. All training sessions will enjoy nice warmup with brief intervals to open things up a bit. I suspect many are doing group rides or riding harder on the weekends with less attention paid to control of effort and technique. Essentially, most of you are racing your buddies. As such, having less time to devote to training during the work-week, using that time to increase or maintain your technique, build specificity and target specific systems is of immense benefit.
The indoor Peak to Peak Training Series will be sold on TrainingPeaks.com where you will be able to purchase a variety of packages. Once a package is purchased, your workouts will be available for you to use on almost any virtual cycling platform from Zwift, TrainerRoad and more at your convenience, or, at the scheduled group workout time. We are experimenting with online communication platforms now to use during scheduled training sessions. One will be chosen to offer more of an inclusive feeling during the virtual-at home training experience. If you already have a coach and/or TrainingPeaks.com access, your coach will not change but the workouts for the series will be automatically added to your current training calendar. If you don't have a Training Peaks.com account, we can help you set one up and register for the series of your choosing.
I know most "Zwifters" come for the racing, but this training series will be in a controlled environment that is based on percentages of your current functional training power (FTP) - so make sure that is updated before you begin. If you wish to repeat the standardized Zwift FTP test on your own, I would not oppose it. If, however, you have done a few harder Zwift group rides, your FTP might have already updated itself. All riders will be kept together with the ride leader unless you stop pedaling and the efforts you make will be at your level of fitness, not anyone else's. There may be an occasion when you are up for a workout and just want to spin along with the group (as a matter of fact, you will catch me doing that as I am now leading 2 classes a day).
If you are interested in joining our Zwift club and doing our workout series, the following requirements need to be met: 1.) you need to have a paid Zwift membership; 2.) you need to follow me (Jon Heidemann/P2P/VR7/Stages); 3.) you have to notify me that you would like to join the club either by text/phone, FB Messenger or email with your Zwift name (so that I can find you). Once I have your request, I will send you an invite. After all that - you will log on to Zwift within 30 minutes or less of the training session time and it should be listed on one of the tiles in the top row of your ride menu. Click that and go!
Training and Regional Development Camps:
3-day gravel training camps are in the planning stages for early 2023 using roads in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska with focus on nutrition, body balance for gravel riding, equipment maintenance, on-road repair, cue sheet & gps tricks, technique, etc - date to be determined.
