Wetsuit Rentals are here at TARGETRAINING

We are now offering a full line of wetsuit rentals from Zoot. Come and demo a Zoot Fuzion wetsuit. The cost is $40 for a weekend. Best of all, apply the rental cost to the purchase price of your own wetsuit.

From the Zoot website...

"In their second year, Fuzion WetZoots will continue to be the most competitive and eye-catching wetsuits in their category by offering premium features, quality, and durability. Our choices of materials, design, and details offer more flexibility, flotation, and overall performance than all other wetsuits at this level.

• Yamamoto #39 cell neoprene is the world’s most lightweight and low-density rubber, making the suit flexible, buoyant, and durable. Low density = maximum buoyancy = more SPEED


• Yamamoto SCS finish is one of the most hydrodynamic wetsuit coatings available, reducing the suit’s coefficient of friction in the water to .032 (compared to traditional neoprene CoF of 4.0)


• 3mm thigh and calf panels ensure advanced mobility and easy on and off for fast transitions• Tapered collar lined with SCS smoothskin features a new lower front to eliminate neck constriction and minimize chafing• Updated cuff construction seals out water and makes for easy on and off.


• 5mm torso/thighs, 1.5mm sleeves and underarms, 3mm and 4mm legs"

Block Island Destination Ride

We are excited to announce that we will be conducting a destination ride at Block Island this Friday, July 17th.

We are going AWOL to enjoy a fun (no intervals) ride around beautiful Block Island and partake in the sun and surf.

Most of us will be taking the 11:30 AM ferry out of New London which gets us there at 12:45PM. The last ferry back is at 7:50 PM. There is also an earlier ferry in the morning.

See this link for ferry schedule. https://www.longislandferry.com/bif/schedule.aspx

It is a good idea to reserve a spot online because they only have 50 bicycle slots available.

The drive to the ferry takes at least 90 minutes from Westport. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2%20Ferry%20Street%2C%20New%20London%2C%20CT%2006320%20Click%20HERE%20for%20a%20prin&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl

Those that would like to car pool should meet at TARGETRAINING Friday 8:30AM. Don't forget sunscreen, swim suits, change of clothes, pooka beads etc.

TARGETRAINING Member, Rob Weiss, has generously volunteered to be ride leader for this event. In addition, TARGETRAINING Staff members Carlos and Suzie will be on hand to lend a helping wheel.

Targetraining Bike Fit A++

Want to thank the guys at Targetraining, especially Jeff,  for getting me set up nicely on the bike.  I'm a member of the Master's Cycling Team and have been struggling with my bike fit over the years.  Even though my racing results have been pretty good, I've tried everything to get more comfortable ranging from shims and footbeds to the pretty extreme mid-arch cleat position (i.e., drilled some hole in the middle of the cycling shoes to mount the cleat in the arch).  As many of you know, desperate times call from drastic measures.  Long story short, took the bike over Targetraining and had Jeff take a look.  Jeff is extremely knowledgeable giving me confidence that he really knows what he's doing.  He made some changes using some state of the art tools as guidance (Retul) but mainly his great feel and eye for specific areas to improve upon.  I have bugged Jeff a bit over time as I'm pretty stubborn and tend to change things around from day to day (not a good idea I know).  Anyways, Jeff has been really helpful and the shop extremely tolerante of my sometimes crazy behaviors.  I would highly suggest you check out what they have to offer if you already haven't.  Thanks much!!

The cave like opening leads to a wet, muddy, steep ride, the gates to hell.

This section was part of the run course.

We to got run down the mountain and it was so much fun, not.

More of the same, wet mud.

We ran down this to the finish.

Cleats were added for hike-a-baike traction.

During last years Green Mountain Stage Race, Eneas wont a stage on this climb.

The guy behind me was out of the water before me. Maybe his wetsuit got stuck?

Sam out of the water.
