Meet the next generation of Bike MS training

Train smarter and get the most out of your training time – VeloPro is an adaptive, AI-driven platform that customizes a training plan just for you. No matter where you are in your cycling journey, VeloPro will get you ready to ride at Bike MS with confidence.

Adapts to You

VeloPro’s advanced AI technology learns your goals, current fitness level and schedule to create a training plan that continuously adapts to where you are in your training. As you get stronger and faster, your plan will evolve to help you avoid plateaus, have adequate recovery time and get ready for the ride of a lifetime!

Backed by Data

VeloPro is free the first month and only $10 a month after that (and $5 goes back to Bike MS!), and you will need a cycling computer or cycling/fitness app to track your time, distance, speed, etc. – but you can choose the device that works best for you! VeloPro will use the data from every ride to chart your progress over time, predict future performance and help you understand the relationship between your heart rate, cadence, speed, power and elevation.

Zwift Training Rides

Are you limited by time, weather or daylight? Do you ride indoors on Zwift? Join fellow Zwifters while you train for your next Bike MS event or work to maintain fitness by joining the Bike MS Zwift Riders Club.

Train alongside hundreds of passionate cyclists working to #CureMS across the world through Zwift, an online at-home training platform. The Bike MS Zwift Riders Club hosts multiple training rides throughout the week including mornings, evenings and weekends. These rides are good for all fitness levels and many include the “banded” effect which helps keep the group together while each rider works at their own pace.

There are also monthly Bike MS Zwift Global Events on the second Sunday of each month. These global events have 2 start times that can fit into just about anyone’s schedule and bring together hundreds for a single ride. Zwifters can earn virtual Bike MS jerseys to wear while riding around Watopia by participating in these Global Events. Join the club and see a list of events available for you.

Don’t forget to join the Bike MS Zwift Riders Facebook group to connect and learn more about online training rides available to you. If you are interested in leading rides, reach out to Chris Wallner at christopher.wallner@gmail.com
