PERFORMANCE

We caught up with Brian to get the insights on how his training has gone thus far and what preparations he has done to be in winning form come October. 

The final episode of Endless Summer sees Amity Rockwell & Tj Eisenhart depart the roads of Los Angeles & Rahsaan Bahati to travel to the thin air & mountain terrain of Park City, UT where the current Cross-Country mountain bike champion resides in Keegan Swenson. Keegan will have Tj & Amity turn in their gravel & road bikes and hop on their mountain bikes to explore the single-track terrain which is Keegan’s backyard. Keegan having grown up in Park City knows the trails inside & out and its these same trails where he homed in on his skills to become the current National Champion of the USA.

Following episode 1 where Amity Rockwell showed fellow Hydro athlete Tj Eisenhart around her home training grounds of Santa Barbara, the duo looks to head south for their next ride. Enter Rahsaan Bahati, a former national champion based in Los Angeles with a talent in bunch sprints. Rahsaan shows Amity & Tj the go-to roads in Los Angeles with a few iconic areas as well.

With an uncertain year and uncertain times where athletes may or may not have much of a race calendar to look at, they look to their backyards to keep their training load going. In a normal calendar year, a cyclist will look to spend the bulk of their off-season training on home roads but then begin the traveling circuit where they will test their fitness & training on roads across the US & Europe searching for victory.
