Heart Zones® Served Here
Train with a heart monitor. Many think that the heart monitor is just a geek tool for the super fanatics. We know however, that everything from simple weight loss to improving your Power output is made more attainable with this simple device. Cycling Fusion is a close affiliate with Sally Edwards and her company Heart Zones®, USA, and all of our training uses this as its foundation.

Why are we doing this? Last year we were able to raise over $10,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. In 2011 we want to raise even more. Read more.
Power eBook
Cycling Fusion has produced the first ever eBook written about riding and instructing on the new stationary bikes with Power.
"Your Power Training e-book explains it all so simply. It is definitely the “Gateway” to learning about power training!! I am new to power training and this was the first time I came across anything on the subject that was understandable to the the power novice." Cathy, NY quote from Pedal-On forum.
International Version!
We have created two versions of our Power Training book - with Watts/Lb for the U.S. and Watts/Kg for non-U.S. based riders. We can guide and cue riders with ease and no need to translate kg to lbs and visa versa.
"In a word wow!! You not only provide the "how to's" but the whys. And unlike other power meter experts who completely drop heart rate training, you incorporate it all.” Bonnie, TX member ICI/PRO Click for details.

If your Spinning® or Indoor Cycling program already “Rocks The House”, then YOU are one of the few we are looking for. Many Indoor Cycling programs are not living up to their full potential, with many members not being served and new member populations (like the outdoor cyclist) still unconvinced. This contest is the first step to identifying the talent that is capable of transforming any program, in any location. We want to make the best of the best available across the country, without the logistical problems of travel. We will do this through video and some unique technology. Your entry into this contest will be your first step in becoming one of the movers and shakers to make this happen.
To be eligible for the contest, Spinning® and Indoor Cycling instructors must complete an online application, and upload a 9 minute YouTube video between June 1, 2010 and August 31, 2010. Entries will be judged by a panel of experts in the field based on the criteria listed in our details tab. Beyond the immediate prizes of the contest, winners will get the opportunity to earn money for recorded classes through automatic inclusion in the Cycling Fusion faculty.

Teaching & Training On Indoor Power Bikes
With the industry on the cusp of entering into the "power zone", Gene Nacey, MPH, founder of Cycling Fusion and Global Ride Productions, has created a completely new approach to indoor power training. This approach is directed at the recreational cyslist and the indoor Spinning® population, yet works well for amateur bike racing as well. Teaming up with Sally Edwards, author and founder of Heart Zones® USA, they've created a brand new Power Certification for indoor cycling instructors who will soon be faced with bikes having power meters; needing to both teach, and interpret them for their students. Read about the new eBook!
In 2009, Lance Armstrong’s first ever Giro d’Italia inspired an American father and daughter team, Gene Nacey and Nina Wilczek, to form a grassroots fund raising ride for the LIVESTRONG® foundation called The Giretto or “Little Giro”. They rode stages 2 through 5 of the race in their entirety (667km), on the same days as the race proper, just a few hours ahead of Lance and the pros. The event was able to raise over $10,000 for LIVESTRONG and showcased the power of training indoors for outdoor riding. The next running of the Giretto will be in 2011with more riders, and more money raised to fight this dreaded disease. If you want to be a part of this amazing ride, Apply here.
