Profile: Masters of Building















When you manipulate the resistance of your Spinner, I like to forget that each time is an individual action and instead consider the changes of resistance across a span of time; resistance change as a process.

Is it a process? In this profile, you will learn that it's not about one change at a time; it's their cumulative inlfuence as you build a hill little by little for some 30 minutes, and then release it in 12, only to rest and then build back up as much and more in four minutes than you had amassed in 30.

When presenting the ride, as we got close to the breaking point to the Standing Climb between minutes 26 and 31, I asked my team to draw a line in the sand; the point where they conceded to a very demanding hill and yielded to the assistance of the Standing Climb. Remember that the grass may not be greener on the other side, but the potential is endless until you go there and see for yourself.

Wishing you the best as you cross the line in your sand,

Patrick
