The Basics of a targeted Winter Workout

The season is almost done and winter is knocking on the door, so really it should be high time to put your feet up…if only you hadn’t already set targets for next year.

So that you are able to fulfil those goals we’re starting a new series called “Ride Fit” to provide you with regular, exciting, informative and motivating articles on the subject of fitness training. We’ll start off with an interview with sport scientist Michael Kley, who will present an overview of the different components of a successful winter training program.

Nate Hill is entering the 2014 season as the reigning Big Mountain Enduro series champ. With $50,000 of overall prize money up for grabs in 2014, the BME series is the biggest in America, attracting the fastest US based riders.
