Crush Your Goals This Summer!

Every journey has a starting point. Begin your cycling journey this summer with our Couch-to-50-mile training group. Maybe you are new to the sport. Maybe you have ridden before but your bike has been collecting dust for years. Couch-to-50 offers a weekly group ride every Sunday from June thru September. We’ll meet at Purlieu, our event center in Shelby Forest, and ride with other cyclists––at your level. Along the way, you’ll get specialized training and tips from elite-level athletes so you can get better fast and shift your performance to the next gear.

For more experienced cyclists, we will offer a new and improved version of our long distance training group. The Endurance Group is a  weekly opportunity to train with friends, build consistency and increase your endurance on some of the best terrain in Shelby County.

Couch-To-50 Training Group

Training Group

You’ll start at 5 miles on the first day and progressively, methodically climb to 50 miles by the end of the summer. And you will have a blast in the process.

BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP: 

On the first day, you’ll learn the basics: loading and unloading your bike without damaging either, proper tire inflation––and safely and efficiently climbing into the saddle and clipping into your pedals.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS: 

You’ll quickly move on to skills that will organically transform you into a more experienced cyclist.

BUILDING COMMUNITY:

We’ve designed the Couch-to-50-Mile program to build community both on the road and off. We’ll connect you with other riders and train you to ride in “pelotons” — or groups of cyclists.

You get the picture. But don’t sweat it — every cyclist starts somewhere, and you’re choosing to start with Victory.
