Staying in cycling shape over the winter months can be a challenge. One effective option besides the typical fitness facility or health club is a studio that conducts programmed sessions using Computrainers, where you bring your own bike to ride and have your power output, heart rate and cadence continuously measured.
Each winter for the past several years, Vision Quest in Highland Park has offered an 8-week discounted program for EBC members in their modern training facility. We expect that this will be the case again in early 2018, and that Felix Angelov will be posting details about the program in the near future.
Another option for this kind of off-season workout is Deerfield Cyclery (in downtown Deerfield), which also has a Computrainer training studio. They recently hosted the club for an evening discussion of cycling tips and techniques, and would welcome EBC members to classes going on now. For information regarding registration, pricing, and class sign up, you can visit their website page: https://www.deerfieldcyclery.com/events
Of course there are other facilities on the North Shore that offer this type of training program, but the two mentioned above have reached out to EBC lately and are being mentioned here as a result.
