Damn son, that's a good one. 🌋🌋🌋

Yes, you read that correctly.  This 60 minute cycling workout is going to take you deep inside one of the most beautiful volcanoes on planet Earth. Your bike will be situated at 9000' elevation and on the precipice of one of the most gorgeous views you can imagine.  From there you will have a front row seat to the Haleakala Crater in Maui.  

This just less than 60 minute ride starts to burble in the beginning.  Then by the end it will be a full on magna explosion unlike any ride you've ever done.  We wanted to create a soundtrack to match this dynamic landscape and take you to the core of the earth and back again.  

Our mission is to create ethereal riding experiences for people who simply don't have access to these places or maybe don't have the time to get outside into nature because they live in a city or some other barrier.  

This is one of the craziest rides we have ever created.  The whole day was divine and we could feel that we were in a special place.  Before the shoot, we gave respect to the island and volcano.  Then asked for permission to proceed with our plans.   

What you have here is all the pieces coming together for a once in a lifetime opportunity.  I'm so happy to share this with you.  

Welcome... Into The Volcano.

Time: 53 min
Workout: HIIT, climbing, attacks, sprints
RPE: (rate of perceived exertion) - 70-100%

Ride to Your Truth.

Find your flow in the Ice Test-a great bike session to build mental fitness. I maintained focus with a set of positive sayings to push through moments of fatigue-and then bam - I only had two minutes left!!!

The 30 Day Surreal challenge (Nov-Dec 2023) and the discipline I gained (continuing 2-3 bike sessions weekly so far this year) set me up for success  in The IceTest! I was weak and now I am finding strength!!!

Ep. #32 - The Ice Test - Climbing

Open the back of the wardrobe to Surreal’s Narnia ride-the music sets a face pace in this magical place!

Wow. Transcendence and transformative all in one ride. Can’t wait to see this on the big screen 📺

Ep. #31 - Narnia (Iceland)

Spent a lot of time in level 8 at 85%. 

Needed that hill

Christopher

Black sand beach ride- a gritty grind, not gentle but not grueling.  Loved the contrast of the visuals -green, black, white, and the ever present 
grey - with the bright and groovy beats.  Great addition of the workout notes on screen during the ride!!

Ep. #30 - Black Beach, Iceland - Endurance/Fat Burn

Just what my tired legs needed thank you 😁

Donna

Kelly

Count breaths not sheep in this ride… and no kidding around- you can work up a serious sweat at a level 5/75%. The Sheep Valley ride is a great end of workday/evening session!!

Ep. #29 - Sheep Valley, Iceland - Recovery

Ice Lagoon ride is a heavy mix of smooth and lumpy, fast and steady. No way to stay cool even with all the ice!!!

Ep. #28 - Ice Lagoon, Iceland - Sprints & HIIT

Bobbie

Fields of Gold - if you haven’t been on your bike in a while this session is a must: a solid warm up with a steady build to a short climb, achievable and empowering … a moving meditation in a green and gold mountain meadow.

Ep. #27 - Fields of Gold - Endurance/Fat Burn

A diamond in the rough…beats to Bond…focused and efficient-sure to be a top favorite episode!!!

Doug

Ep #26 - 007 - HIIT

Amazing to watch on its own. Even more amazing to ride with it.

Ep #25 - Burning Man at Sunrise - Endurance/Fat Burn

Since I am fairly new to cycling I think I was a little naive to what to expect when I saw Hells Canyon. I got excited and thought it was going to be a trail ride and I would just cycle along to it. I did like the meditative aspect to the ride.

Megan

Ideal for Peter attia once a week vo2 max training.

Ep #23 - Hells Canyon - Recovery/Meditation/wild card

Great push! The cadence work had me digging deep.

This ride is a mental workout-find a mantra to focus on and you can push through!

Get that last Tom a bullet.

Fuck that guy.

This is a great track. 

Thank you. Love it.
👏👏💥
