Cyclo-Core

I found a link to this from the Terry website. I am looking for opinions from anyone who is a member. I'm not sure what it is really, only that there are things to download that help someone become a better rider. One thing is, that I'm not all that computer savvy and prefer to read stuff or get dvd's. Thoughts and comments anyone?

Did you find the "interviews" between the Cyclo-core guy and Georgina Terry? They give an overview of his program.

I'll be interested to see the replies. While I thought he had some solid and interesting premises, the interviews were light in information and kept pushing to become members. Now, that could be because members are how he stays in business, but a hard sales pitch makes me wary. Of course, I probably see a hard sales pitch where others see a soft sell.

I'm curious to know how his program vastly improves hill performance without working on hills.

For now, I'll stick to Coach Troy. Pant, pant....

We have several of the DVD products, all are decent and good. Most of his advice is on target. I do the stretching segment before most every ride. Not sure about the "team", his email list alone keeps my inbox full.

Bottom line: nice guy, good info.

I use the Cyclo-Core DVDs for yoga, core, and stretching during the season. I did the winter training program 2 winters ago and I found it difficult. There's no video for the bike training part, but I stuck with it. I will try it again this winter.
I liked the interviews that came with the program and while they didn't tell me a lot of stuff that i didn't already know, I didn't feel the information was "bad" or inaccurate. I won't join the club, though because I just don't want to spend the $. But, I don't think it's much different from any of the other support you can get on line for training.

I listened for about 10 minutes of the interview on Terry before I'd had enough of what seemed like a sales pitch. For now, I'll keep climbing hills in season and spinning my butt off in the off season. It's worked so far. Oh, and using my triple!

What about magazines for women who like to bike? I already get Women's Adventure(used to be named Dandelion) and Her Sports. The other bicycle magazines seem to be heavy on the Testosterone.
