CICC / Colorbiotics Training

Weekly training rides take place on Wednesday nights, leaving from the Ames Bikeworld at 5:30 pm. Rides are open to everyone, but the pace will likely suit more advanced riders as speeds are usually 20+. The route varies from week to week and mileage usually falls in the 40-50 range.

CICC / Colorbiotics hold traing sessions that are open to all riders. During winter months, training takes place on Thursday evenings at the Ames Bikeworld. See details below.

Who:     You, your friends, and your teammates

What:    Group trainer / roller rides

Where:  Bike World - 126 S 3rd St - Ames

When:   Thursday nights 9pm- 10ish

Why/Why not: Next best thing to the Thursday night summer ride. Everyone is welcome...this is a no-drop ride. Most weeks we do a Spinervals-type DVD. These DVD's are hard, so if you choose to do them with us, you take the risks*. Bring your bike, your trainer or rollers, your sweat towel, your water bottle and your friends. Let yourself in the side (east) door. We are remodeling and the shop area is complete chaos currently, so watch your step. Front doors will be locked. We do have a couple mag/fluid trainers to lend. You can call the shop to reserve one if you like. 515-232-3669

* Risks include but are not limited to:

  • You may make some new friends
  • These "friends" may encourage you to ride harder than you should
  • You may get faster and/or stronger
  • Conversely, you may hurl, injure yourself or drop dead of a cardiac incident
