🎄 ’Twas the Night Before Race-mas

’Twas the night before Race-mas,
and all through the town,
Not an athlete was resting —
no one slowing down.

The bikes were all ready,
the goggles laid out,
Dreams of finish lines
were dancing about.

Trainers were humming,
the pool water still,
Cold air on the lake,
and a stubborn strong will.

Shoes by the doorway,
race belts in sight,
Fuel on the counter,
headlamps for night.

Somewhere a group gathered,
laughing and loud,
Chasing something bigger
than just being proud.

They trained in the dark,
they trained in the cold,
They chased after stories
that begged to be told.

They welcomed the tired,
the fast and the new,
The scared, the uncertain,
and the “maybe I can too.”

Not for the medals,
not just the race —
But the fire in the heart
and the smile on the face.

Because this is a tribe,
not just what you do,
It’s the becoming of something
stronger in you.

So wherever you are
on this holiday night,
If you’re chasing your edge
or your next little light —

There’s a place at the start line,
there’s room in the pack,
There’s a tribe that believes
you’re already on track.

Train hard. Dream big.
The work’s worth the view.
And if this speaks to you —
maybe we’ve been waiting for you.

CHRISTMAS BIKE LAB 🎄

Not your average workout.

Today was the Christmas Assessment —
20 minutes. All out. No pacing. No hiding.
Just burn the cookies before they happen.

Maybe Santa showed up overnight…
Maybe it was Mrs. Claus.
Either way, gifts were left — and we paid for them in watts.

Big camaraderie. Lots of laughs.
A few “ho ho ho’s”… followed by some very real
“oh my god we survived” energy.

Huge shoutout to for grinding with us
and Suttons Bay Bikes — Katie Short bringing the heat.

We’re officially in the Christmas spirit…
and already looking ahead.

Merry Christmas.
Here’s to a strong, confident, 2026 race season.

January is coming.
Get locked in. Get uncomfortable. Get better.

BIKE LAB | SATURDAY GRIT SESSION

Gray skies. Snow in the air. Cold temps.
The kind of morning where the alarm goes off and every excuse sounds reasonable.

We had a few call-ins today. Weather. Sleep. Life. It happens.

But a few of us showed up anyway.

That’s the real work of the off-season—getting up when it’s uncomfortable, holding yourself accountable, and choosing consistency over comfort. Those are the days that create the biggest gains.

Today we took on the challenge, rolled Rouvy into the mix, and had an absolute blast doing it. Power was on. Music was up. Yes… Lady Gaga made an appearance on the screen while we were pounding out ones and getting after it.

We even had first-timers in the lab today—which is exactly what this is about. You don’t need perfect conditions. You just need to show up.

Off-season work matters. This is where fitness is built, confidence is earned, and momentum starts.

Come train with us.
Come join the club.
Come see what Bike Lab is all about.

Bike Lab Tuesday | Throne Wars Edition – Dec 12

Tonight’s Bike Lab was one of those sessions that reminds you why we do this.

We had a restart, rolled through updates, and then locked into the work. Once everything settled, the effort was exactly where it needed to be—controlled, uncomfortable, and productive. Classic Throne Wars energy.

This is how fitness gets built: adapt, reset, commit, and ride. No excuses. Just showing up, putting the head down, and getting better together.

Let’s rock, sing, and ride. Let’s have a blast. Let’s do this.

Huge shout-out to for always supporting the endurance community and showing up for athletes in every season.

We’re still riding the high from being featured on 9&10 News highlighting the MiTri Club and five of our athletes who took on IRONMAN Arizona.

They talked about our club, our athletes here in the Grand Traverse area, and why this community matters. Kurt Strasser and Jennifer Hamilton were interviewed—but today is about all of our members.

If you saw the story, come meet us today.

Bike Lab: Prayer Booth Edition 🙏🚴‍♂️
(Where Quality > Quantity… and where your VO₂ max meets your vocal cords)

Some people say love is a feeling.
At Bike Lab, love is showing up at 5:30 AM, stepping into the prayer booth, whispering a quick “Lord help me,” and then sending it like your wattage depends on it.

We didn’t chase quantity this week—we chased QUALITY.
Every interval. Every surge. Every “I swear this is the last rep.”
And yes… every off-key song we belted out trying to convince our legs we were NOT dying.

If you heard singing during the VO₂ blocks, no you didn’t.
If you did hear it, please understand that was simply our coping mechanism.
Scientists call it “pain management.”
We call it “Bike Lab choir practice.”

The prayer booth was OPEN.
The watts were HIGH.
The jokes were questionable.
But the work? Perfect.

Shoutout to the Swell Seekers crew for keeping the vibes right and the cadence steady.
And big thanks to Suttons Bay Bikes for keeping our machines tuned tighter than our hamstrings during the last interval.

Same time next week.
Same booth.
Same suffering.
Same love.
