CTS makes entire Indoor Workout Video Collection available for FREE

With events and group rides cancelled, and many of us turning to indoor training during this challenging time, CTS has stepped up to help keep us all motivated to train

The current public health crisis is understandably on everyone’s mind and it is disrupting many aspects of our daily lives and plans. 

With that in mind, CTS (Carmichael Training Systems), one of the world's leading endurance coaching companies, has decided to stop charging for their training videos and make their entire indoor cycling workout video collection available for FREE as a resource for athletes during this challenging time as the world navigates the coronavirus outbreak.

Click the link below and you’ll get access to 20+ different indoor workout videos. While the video and music might be a little outdated :) the workouts are effective and have withstood the test of time!

During tough times, exercise and athletic training can provide important benefits that have very little to do with fitness and sport-specific performance. So we encourage you to continue training and hope these videos will help keep you motivated.

Don't miss the CTS Figueroa Mountain Gran Fondo this November!

One of California's fastest growing Fondo's, which attracted over 800 riders in it's third edition, is back again this fall on November 14, 2020.

Solvang and the Santa Ynez Valley have a long history with national and international-level cycling events, including stages of the Amgen Tour of California. The area is also known worldwide as an ideal location for pre-season training camps for professional cycling teams.

Amateur cyclists participating in the event will all start together on Saturday morning and choose from four marked routes (100, 64, 44, and 38 miles). The longer three routes feature an ascent of Figueroa Mountain, and all routes feature Ballard Canyon Road made famous to cyclists by the Amgen Tour of California. 

While there are beautiful vineyards lining the country roads of the Fig Fondo, this is no smooth wine country tour. Test your descending prowess on soul-stirring switchbacks, and experience sections of road that’ll make you think you’ve been thrown into the middle of Paris-Roubaix. 

Friendly volunteers will greet you at aid stations stocked with water and a variety of fresh and packaged foods, as well as sports nutrition products from ProBar, Fluid, and GU Energy. Ride with the added assurance that pros from Shimano Multi-Service Support are on course to keep you and your bike rolling.

Remember your Fig Fondo experience comes with free photos, with professional photographers on course, and free downloads available.

The coach-led pace groups at last year's CTS Figueroa Mountain Gran Fondo events were a big hit, so CTS coaches will once again be out on course helping athletes work together and have a great experience!

Last year's event attacted top professional's including EF Education First rider Tejay Van Garderen, Olympic medalist and World Champion Mari Holden, Olympian Mara Abbott, Dirty Kanza 200 Champion Alison Tetrick, and CTS Founder Chris Carmichael.

After the pedalling is done, join everyone for a delicious lunch from local Solvang restaurants, beer from Figueroa Mountain Brewery and local wines, with Live Music and the KOM/QOM and the King/Queen of the Cobbles awards. Last year's fastest overall male and female won a kayak from Evoke Paddlesports.
