Weekly Ride Groups

RTB South

Spin Class - Tuesday and Thursday 5:15AM
Sumner YMCA
Long-time triathlete and spin instructor Heidi Kriss teaches this weekly spin class with many RTB members in attendance. It is 55 min of skill building with 5 min of cool down.  We warm up and then work on a skill drill.  Sometimes it is anaerobic, endurance, Vo2 Max, climbing, etc.  It will vary from week to week.  The nice thing is the participants get more bang for their buck so to speak by doing these high intensity rides for shorter amounts of time.   Contact Heidi if you're interested in learning more.
