Join us for our Climbing & Descending Clinics! Our
Level 1 and Level 2 clinics are perfect for new or
experienced riders looking to improve these most
common of cycling deficiencies. Register for either, or
both by visiting our website and clicking the "sign up"
link.
April 7th - The Level 1 clinic is designed to introduce
some fundamentals of both efficient climbing and
fearless descending. From low speed balance and
agility drills, to high speed cornering and braking
techniques - we'll help you "see" the descent a bit
better. We will also look at climbing from every angle.
Training approaches, technical elements and different
approaches to different gradients. Who knows you
might even learn to Like climbing!! This clinic should
last about 3 hours and requires substantial time on
the bike..so come prepared!
May 12th - The Level 2 Clinic adds a bit more training
theory and
on the bike work on the more difficult elements of
climbing and descending - off camber turns and steep
grades! In addition we'll be shooting some helmet
cam and static video to help you see yourself on the
bike.

Each month we strive to bring our athletes some really
great deals on stuff that matters. Well this time we've
got training specificity on our minds with a couple of
really great deals. The DEADLINE for this series of
deals is April 7th (two weeks). Read below to learn
more about each program. Pricelists for all of the
items below are availble by emailing:
info@sterlingwins.com.
Not a Sterling Athlete? No problem...send us an email
if you are interested and
we'll kick you down a sweet discount on this stuff too.
Compu Trainer - yea, the nice weather is returning, but
the demand for highly specific workouts is never-
ending (especially for those of you with tight
schedules!). To that end a CompuTrainer is a great
addition to your training repetoire. Simply jump on, fire
it up, and your off on a highly specific workout tailored
to your needs. We are putting the finishing touches on
a series of Sterling Sports Custom Workouts
designed around your threshold power and targeting
each zone perfectly.
Power Tap System - Training with power isn't
mandatory...yet. Being optimally prepared for your
events and maximizing the training time you have IS!
There is no better way to track your training and
development than using POWER. While HR is
dependent on a variety of internal and external
influences - a Watt is a Watt. The ability to replicate
workloads specific to your training needs is essential
to your continued development. Are you training too
hard, or not hard enough? Using power can help. The
PowerTap is a reliable and accurate sytem that
measures power at
the rear hub. I've had mine for four years and use it
nearly every ride and race.
Cycling Peaks WKO+ Software - If you're training with
power and you want the best analysis software
available, you want Cycling Peaks WKO+. Simply put it
makes understanding just what you have done on the
bike MUCH EASIER. By combining multiple elements
into one seamless package WKO+ makes it easy for
new and experienced riders alike to see both
individual ride statistics and overall training trends. It's
the software choice of SSG - I use it for all my power
based athletes exclusively. Check out the website
below for more information or to download a demo
version. When you are ready simply contact us and
we'll send you a copy at a special price - as much as
20% off the $99/retail
