This program is part of a larger goal of encouraging individuals to connect with other cyclists\, clubs\, and bike shops. We hope to foster a spirit of community and help relieve concerns related to riding in a group.  Additionally\, this effort includes several Big Dam Bridge sponsor activations as well as other local events when appropriate. \nThe training rides will begin on June 14th and continue every other Saturday through September 20th. Each ride will start at 7:30am from Lost Forty Brewing (501 Byrd St\, Little Rock\, AR 72202) and will return to the same location upon completion.  See map LINK for more details on parking. \nRiders will be divided into groups based on experience and ability. These groups will accommodate any level of cyclist; from the absolute beginner who just recently purchased a bike\, an enthusiast who wants to increase his or her mileage and average speed\, as well as a seasoned cyclist who is aiming for their best time for the 105-mile route. \nOn June 11th\, we will host a Q&A session at Lost Forty Brewing (501 Byrd St\, Little Rock\, AR 72202) from 6pm to 7pm that will provide program details including mileage and pacing for each of these groups. We will also introduce our Training Ride Team of Coaches and Leaders to the attendees. \nEach ride will feature a sponsoring Bike Club and/or Shop and will include a short training topic from one of our Coaches as well as an introduction to the sponsoring Club or Shop.

The best upgrade to ANY bike is a BETTER RIDER! \n  \nJUMP BASICS:  \nWe get it\, everyone wants to jump! However\, most people don’t embrace the technique AND psychology behind doing it well. You have to understand the what and why before you can start to build confidence with the how\, that’s what this session is for. Not only will you build a solid understanding of what NEEDS to happen\, you’ll also get plenty of reps working through the steps of how it needs to happen\, all in a safe and controlled environment. \nTopics Covered: \nRiders will get plenty of reps on multiple takeoffs/landings and Rich will work through multiple rounds of video so you can see exactly what’s working and what isn’t. \nJUMP PROGRESSION Session: Ground School and Skills Park Jumpline \nThis event is all about getting comfortable in the air. That starts with a solid understanding of what it takes to get into the air properly. It’s also critical to get as MANY reps as possible in a controlled environment and that’s what the TRS ground school setting gives you. \nOur Pro level coaches break down the dynamics involved with jumping a bike. Based on over 70 years experience\, they guide you through their real world experience and give you key insight and cues on what to do and also what not to do. \nAfter showcasing the proper technique\, you’ll work through a series of reps and the distance will incrementally increase as your comfort level increases. Analysis and feedback using slow motion video will have you “busting big” in no time. \nThere’s no substitute for experience when it comes to jumping a bike. The only problem is that experience in the right setting can be hard to come by. You’ll get tons reps on our jump lines and receive valuable feedback in the moment.\nRIDERS MUST HAVE:\n– Experience jumping\n– Full suspension bikes with suspension in working order\n– Full safety gear including pads (Full Face helmet not required\, but suggested) \nThis class is intended for riders with jump experience and will move at a specified pace. Coaching staff reserves the right to hold riders to pre determined distances based on performance. \nPlease reach out if you are unsure if this class is a proper fit for you. \nDROP PROGRESSION Session: Ground School and Skills Park drops \nThe Drop Progression session is designed to help riders overcome fear and build competence when tackling drops. Through a structured\, step-by-step approach\, participants learn essential techniques such as body positioning\, bike control\, and speed management. Starting with small\, manageable features\, the course gradually introduces more challenging drops\, ensuring riders develop the necessary skills and confidence to handle various trail scenarios. By focusing on progressive learning and practical application\, this course aims to transform apprehension into mastery\, enabling riders to navigate drops with assurance and control.
