The lab is quiet this morning.

Outside, the snow sits soft on winter grass. The town is still waking up. Coffee is warm, lights are on, and the bikes are waiting patiently in their trainers like loyal training partners that never complain.

Some Saturdays are loud and electric.
And some Saturdays—like this one—are just about the grind.

No crowds. No pressure. Just a simple invitation: show up.

These empty seats are almost calling your name. A steady spin. A good sweat. Music in your ears. The kind of workout that clears your head and sets the tone for the whole weekend.

Moments like this remind us how lucky we are to have a place to train, friends to ride with, and goals worth chasing. The 2026 race season is coming, one pedal stroke at a time, and every quiet session like this builds something bigger.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back at it… consider this your sign.

We’ve got a spot waiting for you.

Big watts, smooth spins, and good vibes only this morning at Bike Lab!
Our crew tackled the Honolulu Tri course like pros — FTP work, SpinScan finesse, and some serious watt bombs dropped.

🚴‍♂️ Kurt held down big engine status with a 309 FTP & 187W avg — powerfully steady.
🚴‍♂️ Joe let it rip with a 487W max. Yes, four. Eighty. Seven.
🚴‍♀️ Katie nailed a 75 SpinScan with near-perfect symmetry.
🚴‍♀️ Ashlea rode super balanced — left/right even and strong throughout.

Huge thanks to the Swell Seekers crew for showing up ready to ride, and Suttons Bay Bikes for jumping in with full send energy.

Bike Lab Saturdays hit different.
Especially when it’s freezing outside and still — people show up.

Some of us rolled in at Logan’s Landing.
Some of us logged in from home on Rouvy.
All of us made the same choice:
show up, hold each other accountable, and get the work done.

That’s the power of this group.
That’s what makes weekends better.
That’s how goals stop being “ideas” and start becoming results.

If you’re watching this thinking,
“I should be part of that in 2026”
— you absolutely should.

New year.
New races.
New version of you.
Is your 2026 race calendar ready yet?

Doors are open.
Trainers are spinning.
Camaraderie included.

Saturday Long Ride Report: Post-Christmas Edition

Post-Christmas. Pre-New-Year.
Cold outside. Warm hearts. Big watts.

Our troop showed up this morning with spirits high and that Christmas joy still humming — the kind you only get when your legs hurt but your people make it better. We even had Christmas gifts on the desk at Bike Lab as we rolled into the session… because of course we did. That’s just how this crew operates.

There were laughs.
There was suffering.
There was that moment when everyone questioned their life choices about 47 minutes in.
And then there was coffee.

This is how you slide into the new year — together, grinding, smiling, building something that’s going to matter when the real season hits.

January is coming.
2026 is loading.
And this group is ready.

Big thanks to Suttons Bay Bikes for keeping our machines dialed and our tribe rolling strong.
