We’ve had unbelievably amazing weather for March (I can’t quite believe it’s almost April, but that’s another story). Unfortunately we have some rain coming in this weekend, so you’d better get out on your bike tomorrow morning!
In addition to Getting Your Season Started, our regular ride will leave from 28 Bruce Park Ave at 9:00 am. The usual route, the usual pace (about 16 mph). Call with any questions: (203) 485-0500.
SRAM looks to have made a lot of significant functional changes to their 2012 Red group. When we got a sneak peak of the parts about a month back, the consensus amongst us at Signature was that any issue we had with SRAM components up to now were addressed and improved in the new 2012 Red group. Time and miles will tell the tale, of course, but things look good from here.
Physical therapist Michael Conlon, owner of Finish Line Physical Therapy and a three-time Ironman triathlete, will join Signature Cycles for a special presentation on “Functional” hip mobility for cyclists. Michael will discuss the benefits of three-dimensional functional flexibility, and how building and maintaining proper mobility and stability in your hips will help in overall performance enhancement, injury prevention, and rehabilitation if injury does occur.
Here is part four of our series of videos from Dr. Max Testa’s talk at our Greenwich Studio’s Passoni Bicycles introduction event. In this portion of Dr. Testa’s talk, he covers muscle coordination and pedaling efficiency, and how outright muscular strength is not such a great thing if those muscles are not coordinated in their firing sequence.

Dr. Max Testa speaks at Signature Cycles in Greenwich about the myths of lactic acid and training, how it’s actually very good for you, and the implications of his sports medicine research for masters/veteran racers.
This is the second video in our series from Dr. Max Testa’s visit to our Greenwich studio. Andy Hampsten, ’88 Giro d’Italia, early sports science in the Pro Peloton … this is all great stuff!
Going to be a bit on the chilly side in the morning, but we’re riding at 9am from the Greenwich Studio. Hope you can make it, we had a great ride last week! 27 miles, 16-17 mph pace.
The weather looks great for tomorrow’s ride! We’ll do our regular 27 mile route leaving at 9am, like always. Hope to see you there.
On December 5th and 6th, 2011, Dr. Max Testa visited us for the introduction of Passoni Bicycles to Signature Cycles. We were treated to an amazing talk about his long history in the Pro peloton, his training techniques and methodologies, his current work, and hilarious stories about Pro cyclists past and present.
This is the first video in a series which we will release over the coming week in which Dr. Testa discusses how important cellular mitochondria are to athletic performance (and everyday life!).
Brrr, looks like it’s going to be cold this weekend. We’ll ride if it’s going to be at least mid/high 20’s at 9am. Bundle up and hopefully we’ll see you in the morning.
9:00 am at Signature Cycles Greenwich, 28 Bruce Park Ave. 27 miles at 16-17 mph pace.
