In October’s talk, they will be talking about focus points for cyclers during the off-season. They will be speaking from two points of view- maintaining and improving performance for the coming season, and secondly, recovering from injury (or chronic, recurring muscle issues) and preventing injury and chronic recurrent muscle issues. The main takeaways from the presentation will be practical points that we use with our clients each and every day to keep riders cycling and being as active as he/she desires for years to come!
