Brickzilla Saturday 👊

Two sessions this morning.
4:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.

Long ride. Brick runs. Good people. Work got done.

There’s just something about doing this with others that makes it easier to show up, easier to stay locked in, and easier to get through the parts that would feel a whole lot longer by yourself.

This is why Bike Lab works.
Steady bike work. Smooth transitions. Quick brick runs. Confidence built one session at a time.

We’re getting ready for the outdoor season, and mornings like this remind you that fitness is built in the small choices to keep showing up.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, come jump in.
You do not have to do it alone.

Racing and training in team gear is one of the best parts of this club.
You’ll spot teammates on the course, on the road, and at races all season long.

Don’t be the one wishing you had ordered when everyone else is wearing theirs this summer.

Assessment Day at MiTri Bike Lab.

You know the feeling when you were a kid and grabbed the curtains in the living room…
leaned back… and let the wind take you as you swung across the room like some kind of superhero?

That’s what assessment day feels like in Bike Lab.

Except now the “curtains” are handlebars, the “wind” is pure watts, and instead of flying across the living room… we’re charging straight through a 20-minute time trial to see what’s changed since the last test.

Some riders come in nervous.
Some come in confident.
Some come in pretending they’re just here for a “casual spin.”

But the truth is… everyone’s here for the same reason:

To see what happens when you commit, dig deep, and hold the line.

This morning the room was electric.
Fans roaring.
Computrainers humming.
Heart rates climbing.
Athletes locked in.

And just like always… the numbers told a story.

More power.
More control.
More grit.

Because this crew shows up week after week at 5:30 AM when the rest of the world is still asleep.

And when the test comes…
they’re ready to swing through the wind.

Let’s go Swell Seekers

Short VO2 max intervals on the schedule today.

Suffer fest, right?

Wrong.

We turned Bike Lab into full-blown Karaoke Lab.

Watts were flying.
Lungs were burning.
And somehow… we were belting out lyrics like we were headlining a stadium tour.

There’s something powerful about slamming down hard efforts while laughing mid-interval. That’s the magic. High output. High energy. Zero complaining.

We don’t just “get through” VO2 work.
We attack it.
We sing through it.
We level up because of it.

Some of this crew is building toward IRONMAN Wisconsin. Others are chasing PRs, fitness, or just becoming stronger humans.

Either way — we’re doing it together.

So the real question is…

Why aren’t you witnessing this?

Swell Seekers — you already know. Let’s go.

Cold Saturday mornings are back… and it officially feels like winter and spring are in a full-blown custody battle over Northern Michigan. One minute you’re scraping frost, the next you’re questioning arm warmers. Classic.

But not even a few early-morning snafus could derail Bike Lab.

Coffee? Acquired.
Trainers? Humming.
Athletes? Fired up.

And when the trusty transition bucket shows up… you KNOW it’s game time. That’s elite-level preparedness right there. Indoor brick on deck. No excuses. Just steady watts and quick shoes.

Huge shoutout to Katie from Suttons Bay Bikes for getting everyone dialed and up and running. When tech hiccups try to creep in, we don’t panic, we pivot and ride.

What started as a cold, stubborn Saturday turned into exactly what makes this crew special:
• Great effort
• Great energy
• Great people
• Great Bike Lab

And even greater things coming.

Because while the weather argues outside… inside we build engines.
