The Lectures
All of our plans include 12 weeks of lectures from Tom Scotto, Gene Nacey, and experts from all over the U.S. flown in to share their expertise. All of the lecture faculty for Winter Training did both lecture and rides with the exception of our Nutrition expert . These samples are much longer than the previews as they attempt to provide a broad overview of the various presetnters and on-bike instructors. There is so much variety contained in these 12 weeks of lectures, rides and cross training that you will literally be able to do them for years and years before they become "old".
