Training & Preparation

Training Programs

Our 16-week training programs are created by Dr. Stephen Lane from HPTek. Stephen is an 8 hour wave leader for Team Bicycle Network and is dedicated to helping you reach your goals – whether that’s completing your first Peaks Challenge or going faster than before.

Our training programs kicked off on Monday 16 November.

Stephen will be sharing regular videos to run through the upcoming elements of the training programs and give you a better understanding of what is needed to achieve your goal on the bike.

Plus, stay tuned for upcoming Facebook Live streams where you can ask any questions about your training.

At Bicycle Network, we’re committed to getting more women riding and addressing the gender imbalance in bike riding. In the lead up to Peaks Challenge 2022 we will have tailored events and support for women who are keen to have a crack at the event but are not sure where to start, or women who are looking for like-minded riders.
