Picture this: You cruise along Asheville’s iconic Blue Ridge Parkway with a pack of training buddies on perfectly tuned bikes, fully supported by a sag wagon and looking forward to local brews and made-to-order meals around the campfire post-ride.

You finish up a high-altitude run on Boulder’s lung- and leg-busting Switzerland Trail, then shoot the breeze with Crowie as you lounge in NormaTec boots in the resort’s recovery room.
