Ability and capacity cannot be honed or developed without friction.
•
Simply put, what lies between us and future successes is “the work”.
•
Training doesn’t have to be complicated or lab-rat-like, but it does need to be challenging and designed to sharpen your fitness, just as friction polishes a stone into a beautiful gem.
•
Athlete Highlight: earned a well-deserved and hard-fought win at this weekends .official 4hrs Of Vail.
•
The racing was fast and furious and his competitor (and friend) Leo was relentless. But at the end Cole fought back and conquered the intense heat to bring home this win!
•
Congratulations Cole, we are so proud of you, and thrilled to see all that you will accomplish in 2026!

TOMORROW! 📚

We will be spending Saturday with a fleet of amazing coaches!

As long-standing certified USAC Coaches, continuing education is an important cornerstone of ensuring we are doing our absolute best for our athletes.

We will learn from and collaborate with leaders in the industry on the following:

✅ Physiology
✅ Nutrition
✅ Business models and planning
✅ Client leads and Retention
✅ Safe Sport and it’s importance for athletes & coaches
✅ Bike Fitting basics

And much, much more!

We are excited to virtually see many of our colleagues, friends, and previous teammates tomorrow in the trenches learning.

And we can’t wait to bring that knowledge back to our athletes! 👊🏼

This performance advice is much easier said, than done…
•
Maybe it’s because “training our strengths” is more fun.
•
Or maybe we simply like to do what we are good at more than practice something we find difficult.
•
Either way, it’s important to remember that being a cyclist requires us to climb, descend, turn, pace, fuel, sprint, attack, and time trial in the same event.
•
Simply stated, cycling demands that a rider be a complete athlete.
•
Whereas other sports get to focus on offense, defense, or some other specific aspect of the game, even a casual rider must be able to do it all.
•
That notion is the inspiration for today’s as the offseason is a great time to reinforce strengths, but more importantly, to develop weak links in our capacities.
•
So this week, and all offseason, lean into the uncomfortable work that is developing your weaknesses.
•
It’s not glamorous work, but it will yield significant results next season!
•
Athlete Highlight: Charlie Marinko put together an incredible ride at this years Filthy 50 taking more than 20min off his finishing time from last year!
•
Charlie was disciplined about his pacing, as well as his fueling, so that he could put the fitness he has worked so hard to develop to the test.
•
And we’d say it was a great success!
•
His commitment to work on undeveloped components of his fitness and race craft culminated in a season-best performance.
•
Congratulations Charlie! We are so proud of you, Buddy! Hard earned and well deserved!!!

If we are not having fun we are missing the point!
•
Building the fitness to be a fast bike rider takes time, energy, and sacrifice, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!
•
We would do well to heed Mr Bach’s quote and share our joy for the sport by having some fun with friends along the way!
•
Racing or competing doesn’t have to exclude fun or cameadaire, just ask our friends !
•
This weekends QnD Filthy 50 was a blast on and off course, with our Athlete Billy Pointer III showing us the example of working hard and having a good time!
•
BP3 rode to a solid 7th place performance in the Men’s Open 30-mile division and finished of with old-school skid across the finish, then stayed in the finish-chute to high-five other BWC Athletes and his friends as they crossed the finish line.
•
He even had a high-five and a hug to give to his Dad when he crossed the finish-line!
•
We cannot be more proud of BP3, his ability to train while balancing college classes (he’s a High School student!) and his enthusiasm for others success.
•
Great work Billy! Keep handing out those high-fives and ripping the miles, next season is going to be a good one, Buddy!

In a sport that demands so much time, a lot can be said for being a “yardstick of quality”, as Mr Jobs puts it.
•
So make a plan and execute it well…
•
Not just in training, but on event day too.
•
Because a focus on quality leads to powerful and successful performances!
•
Athlete Highlight: has been a star athlete throughout her life, but this year she set her sights on XC and Marathon MTB National Championships and won both events in the same week, making her a 2x National Championships in the span of a few days.
•
Ms Tam-Tam, as we call her here at BWC HQ, was focused, composed, and prepared. After numerous high-quality training session and focused workouts Tam-Tam smashed her competition and earned her national titles in style!
•
Congratulations Tammy! We are so proud of you and absolutely thrilled to be a part of your racing successes!
•
PS: Check the name of the tune we used for this post… “ABSOLUTE BADASS”, absolutely fitting for Ms Tammy in our opinion. You rock Tam-Tam!
