Looking for love?

Maybe it’s the quiet miles at sunrise.
Maybe it’s chasing your shadow down an empty road.
Maybe it’s the rhythm of the pool,
or the hum of your wheels at race pace.

Maybe it’s the one who waits at the finish line.
Or the one who trains beside you —
step for step, mile for mile.

Some of us fell in love with the sport.
Some of us fell in love through it.

Either way…
we found our tribe.

So here’s to the miles that shape us,
the sweat that binds us,
the grit that grows us,
and the people who make it worth it.

If you’re looking for love…
you just might find it on the start line.

Happy Valentine’s Day. ❤️

Snow outside. Work inside. That’s how we do Saturdays at Bike Lab.

Today’s brick session brought the heat — strong endurance riding stacked with run intervals, ten minutes on, back to work, over and over. Legs loaded, heart rates up, minds locked in. This is how durability gets built.

Huge energy in the room and so good to have Al is back from Texas getting after it with the crew. Ashlea Walter was in the house too — Swell Seekers representing strong. Everyone showed up ready to earn it, and it showed.

Winter doesn’t decide if we train. We do.

First Tuesday of February = WORK getting done.

Bike Lab was FULL this morning and the vibe was 🔥

We’ve got a first-time Ironman in the house putting in the work early, learning the process, and stacking those quiet, unglamorous miles that actually build the engine. This is where it starts. Not race day. Not summer. Now.

We’re dialing the intensity down on purpose — aerobic control, clean form, steady power. That’s how you build durability. That’s how you last. That’s how you show up strong when the season turns.

No hero efforts. No ego watts. Just disciplined work in a room full of people chasing big goals together. That’s Bike Lab.

Season loading… and we’re already moving.

February = BRICK SEASON, baby. 🚴‍♂️➡️🏃‍♀️

MyTri Bike Lab just leveled up.

Saturdays aren’t just “long ride” days anymore…
Now they’re LONG RIDE + ROTATING BRICK PARTY.

Here’s how today went down 👇
We rolled the long ride as usual… BUT every 15 minutes, a new duo hopped off the bike and hit a 10-minute run.

And today?
We doubled it. 💥
2x10-minute run off the bike.
Because why not make strong legs AND strong minds?

This is where race-day confidence gets built.
This is where “my legs feel weird” turns into “ohhh… I know this feeling.”
This is where the magic happens.

And honestly?
It just makes Saturday way more fun.
Energy. Movement. Teammates cheering mid-run. Controlled chaos in the best way.

February = we build durability.
Movies are coming back soon.
Season is on the horizon.

So the real question is…
👉 Why are you not here??

Come ride.
Come run.
Come suffer-smile with us.
Let’s stack fitness now so summer feels FAST.

Last Bike Lab of January = the line in the sand. Race season isn’t “coming”… it’s here.

Today wasn’t perfect. Tech hiccups. Adjustments on the fly. A little chaos in the cave.
But that’s exactly why we do this.

When things go sideways, we don’t fold — we troubleshoot, we adapt, we overcome, and we still get the work DONE. That’s endurance sport. That’s life. And it’s a whole lot easier when you’ve got a crew suffering right beside you.

Shared watts. Shared grit. Shared “why are we doing this again?” faces.
That’s camaraderie you can’t fake.

Huge shoutout to Katie Short for leading the charge and guiding the squad through the storm while The Capt’n was out. Calm, strong, and steady at the helm. That’s leadership. 👊

This was a winter raid — and the tribe showed up ready for battle.

The lab is quiet this morning.

Outside, the snow sits soft on winter grass. The town is still waking up. Coffee is warm, lights are on, and the bikes are waiting patiently in their trainers like loyal training partners that never complain.

Some Saturdays are loud and electric.
And some Saturdays—like this one—are just about the grind.

No crowds. No pressure. Just a simple invitation: show up.

These empty seats are almost calling your name. A steady spin. A good sweat. Music in your ears. The kind of workout that clears your head and sets the tone for the whole weekend.

Moments like this remind us how lucky we are to have a place to train, friends to ride with, and goals worth chasing. The 2026 race season is coming, one pedal stroke at a time, and every quiet session like this builds something bigger.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back at it… consider this your sign.

We’ve got a spot waiting for you.
