[Day] Tuesday [Schedule] 
For the first day of riding athletes will arrive at around 8:30 am ready to ride the challenging Madera Canyon. Two different options will be available today; a shorter 40 mile ride or a 70 mile ride. Both rides include the climb up Madera Canyon. This climb stretches 20km reaching an altitude of 5,600 feet. The gradient of the climb slowly increases until the final 3 miles, averaging 9%. You may think you know pain, but you do not until you have hit these final miles! On these last 3 miles coaches will conduct a field test to set your training zones for the week. With these precise power zones you will be able to train smarter and more efficiently than you ever could have imagined. We will break for a delicious CTS lunch after the test, followed by an individual data recall. Any questions you have regarding your power zones your highly experienced CTS coach will answer for you. Finally at 6pm we will get food at another fantastic Tucson restaurant. All the while coaches will have a discussion with athletes about CTS training principles and how to apply them to maximize fitness.
