WHAT YOU’LL DO
On the winding, backroads of Sonoma wine country, experience the ultimate in cycling with three-time Ironman Champion and premier cyclist, Chris Lieto. As a world-class athlete with a deep knowledge of his craft, training directly with Chris offers a unique session focused on personalized guidance in all things cycling, along with a chance to pedal the beautiful roads surrounding Healdsburg. It is a custom designed experience for those looking to enhance performance, fine tune their technique and improve their training regime.
Each day begins with an intimate discussion with Chris and the small group of cyclists. He’ll discuss the focus and training required to become an Ironman Champion, and share his invaluable expertise on form and technique. Riders will take away essential lessons on cycling performance before hitting the open road to put his advice to work.
As the peloton cruises the serpentine wine country roads, Chris will mentor each rider in real time. His friendly, outgoing demeanor, along with his passion for performing at peak potential, makes him a one of a kind instructor who happens to be cycling by your side. As the group bikes along roads framed by vineyards, a support van follows along, ready to fix any flats, offer technical support and address any nutritional needs. Brief stops along the way allow Chris to offer more technical advice and discuss any questions individual riders may have.
Finish the ride by cycling into downtown Healdsburg for a lunch of local, organic fare paired with regional wines at Barndiva. Served outside on a private patio, the team can relax and unwind at this quintessential wine country restaurant while hanging out with Chris. Discuss the day’s adventure, the lessons learned and bask in the early afternoon sunshine while dining on seasonal California cuisine.
