Partner Announcement: Training Peaks & Through the Wall Training

At Chasing Epic, we firmly believe that in order to fully enjoy the type of singletrack mountain bike riding we classify as the “best of the best”, you need to be in the best shape possible.  Not everyone needs to be the King of the Mountain on Strava, but if you can knock out a 2,000 foot climb and have enough in the tank to enjoy the descent, then it’s going to be that much more enjoyable.  Additionally, if you’re in better overall condition, then your handling skills will be sharper, you’ll be able to push yourself, and you’ll have more fun riding the best singletrack in the United States.

Because of this belief we’ve partnered with two industry-leading companies to bring each one of our customers something unique, something you don’t get from any of our competitors:

Every Chasing Epic customer will have access to FREE, customized 8-week training programs with Training Peaks and Through the Wall Training.  Not only that, but we’ve broken the training down by ability group, so you can choose the program that suits you best.  If you book far enough in advance, you can access multiple programs.  We’re serious about bike fitness, and think this partnership will go a long ways towards maximizing your potential as well as creating the most epic vacation possible!
