I often ask myself why I ride. There are many reasons that enter my mind, racing, going fast, staying in good health, and while all of that is awesome and worthy of chasing, then I see the sun coming up on a beautiful morning ride or watch two of my granddaughters riding together during a recent visit with each other and then I remind myself. Why do I ride - Because of the beautiful life that surrounds us all no matter where we are at in the world or the hardships we may be facing. Riding can help set us up in the right direction........Why do you ride??????????

Hi everyone! I just signed up for the 4 week challenge. My goal is to build my power and speed for my upcoming 70.3 in October. Can't wait to start! I started cycling just about 2 years ago and I've been doing structured training for a little over 1 year. I'm excited to see what we can improve in a short amount of time.

Hello all I am a 16 yo cyclist Thai from the Bahamas looking foward to connecting with you all on my journey to improve.

I’ve just finished my 4 Week Challenge to get a faster bike leg on my upcoming Ironman 70.3. I tested my 20 minute max power at the beginning and at the end of the 4 weeks. Here’s what I wrote 4 weeks ago: ‘’Hey everyone, I am new to the community. I’ve just been given my 4 week challenge by Arne. Looking forward to testing myself and getting my power/speed up before my 70.3 here in the Netherlands in June. Have a great weekend 💪🏽👊🏼’’ My 4 Week Challenge Results: • 87% Workouts completed as planned • Result 20 min test 1: 224 Watts • Result 20 min test 2: 257 Watts • 14.7% Improvement • FTP from 213 -> 244 Watts I really enjoyed the challenge, the structure of the training and most importantly testing myself!! What I took most from this challenge is that there is so much potential I unlocked which much more to do. This challenge has really pushed me closer to my goal, even on my easy rides now I feel much stronger & faster which will help with my race in 3 weeks. So I live in the Netherlands and as people know who live here the weather can be quite unassuming, so the only thing I didn’t like was the home workout when the weather was crap because it’s not the same as going out on your bike in the fresh air. I would recommend this challenge to everyone but especially people that are competing. Lastly - I just want to thank the main man!! Amazing coach and person!! Can’t wait for the next 4 week challenge 😜 Apologies for the long post

Hey all! Im just starting my 4 week challenge and I couldn't be more excited! I just finished a hill climb race a couple of days ago after a training camp in Mallorca and despite some fatigue in the legs, managed an all time best of 242 watts for 30 mins. Could I have paced it a bit better and not have tried to chase wheels early on? Maybe. 👀 But hey I was there to race. My goal is to go back to the same climb 4 weeks from now and hopefully do north of 250 watts for the same amount of time.
