Master Of Cycle

Master Of Cycle is the advanced version of the O’Ride format: a performance-focused indoor cycling class of 45 minutes, made up of structured interval blocks targeting power output (watts) and cadence.

The session is built around threshold paces, VO2max intervals, high-resistance climbs and sprint sets. Rest periods are short, resistance levels are given by the instructor as percentages, and progress is tracked against participants’ values from previous sessions.

Master Of Cycle is designed for members who attend O’Ride regularly and want to take their fitness up a level; it is also ideal as winter-season training for cyclists and triathletes.
