From the epicly creative & visionary mind of Ketch Johnson, we bring you a workout on par with the kickstart of the universe itself...

We bring you... The Big Bang.

There's a place in the Pacific Ocean where the power of the water is so strong, it builds into 40', 60', and even 80' waves.   These mountains of water then crash into the island of Maui at a special place called Pe'ahi. Pe'ahi means wave in Hawaiian.  It is also commonly known as Jaws. 

Your bike is located just around the corner from this incredibly powerful place. You will get a front row seat of what it's like to ride and fly around this incredible landscape at dawn.  It is here where you will encounter dangerous cliffs, scenic greenery and a ride like no other. 

This ride will ask you to let go. Let go and surrender to the music, the visuals and to whatever is holding you back.  Just let go and let the ride take you. There is a real nice warm up build here followed by something for everyone. 

This is Hawaii.

This is the Big Bang. 

Time: 52 min
Workout: endurance, fat burn, climbing, attacks
RPE: (rate of perceived exertion) 70-90%

Ep#22: The Big Bang ~Endurance/Fat Burn

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!!!

Todd

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!!!

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.
👏👏💥
