Where are you on the super-jock to just-off-the-couch continuum? Is this the fitness ride for you? YES, wherever you are on the continuum! We ride by time, not distance. You ride out as far as you can in the set time and then ride back to the start. BUT this is a ride for anyone who wants to improve their fitness and pace. It’s about personal bests and each week, you will get better!
