RIDES

lance

Team members have structured training sessions on local roads on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays throughout the year, along with the additional miles each and every team member logs individually. On Tuesdays, we head to Rock Creek Park for hill repeats. On Thursdays, we join many of the area’s cyclists for interval and sprint workouts and Hains Point. On Saturdays (when we’re not racing, of course), we head off on a team training ride that weaves through Rock Creek Park and parts of Maryland for anywhere from 40 to 60 miles.

The members of the race team started riding together on The Bike Rack’s Sunday community ride, a 40-mile weekly outing that attracts 25-70 riders year-round. We don’t easily forget our roots, and non-race Sundays are still reserved for our shop ride, where new recreational riders are warmly welcomed into the fold – among a sea of team uniforms.

On top of the Sunday ride, The Bike Rack hosts a beginner’s ride on Saturday that continues to increase in popularity each week. This is a community of friends, family, neighbors and consumers.
