Training/Fitness

“It’s as easy a riding a bike…!” How often have you heard that? Sure, riding a bike down the road is easy, and most cyclists would rather work on fitness or explore the open road than spend time thinking about how to handle their bike. But the truth is that a little improvement in your skills can make riding easier, safer and a lot more fun. Developing your bike-handling skills will really pay off. And no matter how long you’ve been riding, the best time to start is right now. Check out our Training/Fitness section to find the right Joe Friel training program for you – so you can start preparing for your tour today!
