Train with Geraint Thomas and the Pros

The pros have taken to Zwift like never before. While their day jobs may be on hold temporarily, they can ill afford to rest up in quarantine like many of us. With cycling fitness, it’s a question of use it or lose it. And in the current climate, Zwift and other online platforms provide the only means by which many can train effectively. If you’ve been waiting for your opportunity to test your legs against the pros, then you’ve never had a better chance. The cycling season never quite got started, so you may even stand a chance! Many of our favorite pro riders past and present are on Zwift. And with little in the way of racing or outdoor riding available, it’s hard to keep them off the platform. Keep an eye on their twitter accounts for when they’ll be riding. You can also ride with professional road athletes or triathletes every Tuesday at 19:25 (CET) and ‘Ride It Out with Castelli’. The rides are social in nature, on rolling courses, with the aim of getting riders together, supporting each other and having a chat along the way.  Many will find it hard to stick to the pace of the ...

Castelli Multisport Team Camp 2020

  If we allow ourselves to envision – if only for a few moments – what our expectation of ‘normal’ might have been as we head into the final days of March, it would most likely have included building fitness, spending time with friends, and being outdoors, weather permitting. And maybe even grabbing a few good shots for the ‘gram. As luck would have it, our US-based Castelli Multisport Team (CMT) was able to escape just in the nick of time, pre-quarantine and social distancing, to St. George, Utah, for a training camp filled with all the things we’re no longer supposed to be doing.       The CMT, a US-based team of 50 athletes from around the country, chose St. George for the stunning backdrop it provides for cycling and running, and for the opportunity for members of the team to spend time together and get to know each other better. Without the focused requirements of racing, we’d argue there are few situations better suited to bringing folks together – both physically and emotionally – as team camp.       Camp came on the cusp of a changing world, to which we returned after camp, more appreciative of ...

ZWIFT – Ride it out with Castelli

During this difficult period, many of us are increasing our time spent training inside, either through choice or enforcement. In support of this challenging situation, Castelli is scheduling extra Zwift rides, together with an Instagram campaign, with the intent of showing solidarity whilst we ride it out, ‘together’. Taking place weekly every Tuesday at 19:25 (CET), ‘Ride It Out with Castelli’ rides are social in nature, on rolling courses, with the aim of getting riders together, supporting each other and having a chat along the way. We’re also giving away a little swag during the ride, with the Castelli Insider bib-shorts or jersey up for grabs. Ride pace: 2.6 – 2.8 w/kg on Flat sections 2.8 – 3.0 w/kg on Hills/Climbs Alongside Zwift rides, Castelli is also running a #RideItOut Instagram solidarity campaign, also with a chance of snagging some prizes. Simply post a video or photo story of you riding inside (or your pain-cave!), mention @CastelliCycling plus the #RideItOut hashtag. We’ll reshare a selection of stories on Castelli’s Instagram page and each week one lucky post will win a Castelli Insider jersey or bib short. Together, we can Ride It Out. #RideItOut #StayHome #IoRestoACasa #IoMiAllenoACasa

Through orange groves in Sierra Nevada

The Spanish south coast attracts both professional cyclists and winter-weary amateurs with their fine roads. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada and with the Mediterranean Sea within easy reach, we set out cycling in hilly terrain through olive and orange groves. With a few stops for a cortado. From Malaga we take the motorway one hour east before we turn north into a valley where the sun shines on the yellow coloured rock massif as we drive into the small community Vélez de Benaudalla. The main street runs in north-south direction with the church in the center and with white stone houses close up on both sides of the road. The fortress at the height reminds visitors of the city’s Arabic roots. Here we find some small grocery stores, a bakery, a couple of cafes and restaurants. White legs Together with a group of cyclists from Stockholm Cycle club, who also have arrived with an early flight, we take a short ride in the afternoon. Cormac Keeny guides us on a short trip to a village on the other side of the valley, with a hill long enough for the pulse to go up. A premonition of what to ...
