[@lindae_swims]

Thank you

[@r.massattack4052]

You can keep the cobbles to yourself. I hope I never run into them. This session was tuff so I can't imagine actually racing on cobbles. Another Amazing session. Really enjoying everything the GCN team brings

[@hannahcowley9777]

What a session!! Loved the lower cadence efforts as I’m not good with the higher sporty cadence reps! Loved it!!

[@arcangel7097]

Vai vai vai - Connor this cobbled simulated class was not only massive but what a clever designed workout!! Manon, Emily and gorgeous Maddie who make the ride stellar too! Just pure GOLD

[@alenapeacock7984]

Another awesome session, thanks from new Zealand!!!😍😍😍😍

Awesome, thank you so much! It was a nice group of riders and efforts, and I enjoyed it. 😊

[@GCNTraining]

Glad you enjoyed it! See you n the next one?

[@maxws7617]

Great session. As Connor said, I could imagine losing your water bottle on the cobbles would give you the right hump!

[@paulelson7616]

Towel soaked now using my chain wipe rag ! , it's all I could reach ! Enjoyed 🚴👍

[@surabelafabian9781]

Way to kick my butt, Connor! I'll happily Never ride cobbles willingly, but it was still great training. thanks GCN team!

[@ethangodridge6833]

Thanks Conor and co. I thought the session was quite easy until that last 10 minute block rising from 7 to 9/10. That's where it bites and saps the legs for me.

[@franciscopooley8093]

Just the right session for a Friday evening

[@CDHLynchburg]

Awesomely tough! Loved the lower cadence work.

[@kelliburmeister3618]

Man that was cobble crazy!!❤❤

[@riverdale666]

Thanks Connor for another great session! It was tough enough without being bounced around on the cobbles

[@jennifergehrlein5664]

Fantastic workout but no thanks on actual cobbles!!! Never fear Manon is here sounds like an amazing segment ❤ I always appreciate her insight and advice. Thanks for another awesome ride!!

[@Tomi_janet15]

Great video!! 100rpm is so intense 😮😅🔥🚲🚴‍♀️🚵‍♀️

[@user-gk3ix5dk5s]

excellent for maintaining fitness over winter months

[@mikeboustead6385]

Very enjoyable again. Tough session and a little different! Keep them coming

[@sarahmorwood9178]

Just started out on the bike after years of ultra running. These are fantastic to get me used to the efforts required!

[@leightonpoidevin2892]

Excellent session! really enjoyed it here in British Colombia. Awesome job to the team putting these clips together!

[@leamarion1654]

my new fav session!

[@javamartin52]

Loved the variation in cadence and effort. I use this type of effort in climbing short hills, when I can lower cadence, increase intensity, and power past my cycling mates. Will do again for sure.

[@Idahoartist2006]

I always love a new video! Fantastic ride!

[@patriciamonicadiasluna9591]

It was a hard session, those cobbles really took all my energy! Thanks Connor and team! 🇨🇦🌹🇨🇦

That workout was genius! My legs are on fire, but I love it! Thanks team

[@stephendurley1239]

Fantastic session! I’ll enjoy that one many times to come in the future! Although I must mention pigs don’t sweat, that’s why they roll around in mud!

[@suefugle9465]

Wow! 💓 brilliant! 40 mins flew by! Thanks, keep them coming! 🙏

Great workouts! I am found you lately and I have now in my regular training in the gym after the weight training. I would like to ask you if you can plan some training for general fitness improvements beyond cycling. I am playing tennis and I would like to have my fitness preparation with the spin bike. Thanks

I am doing this on Friday.

[@lottetelvig4071]

Perfekt - but i cant speak as the GIRLS while spinning 7/10🤩🤩🤩

[@alexandermailhot-beutel3223]

Brutal

[@acegard7801]

I'm going to get a bucket of mud to splash on me before this workout.

[@edenilsonantoniomeimei5649]

Excelente treino

[@virgiiawhiteside6170]

Tough but good

[@sarahphillips321]

Hard hard hard

[@NotSoUniversal]

Does this qualify as hiit? I thought the intense intervals are meant to be shorter so that you can keep the same intensity throughout the given time.

[@sgibson4115]

Bonega!

[@athenaturner-frederick2778]

I have a exerpeutic bike that my father in law didn’t use. Been at this for awhile and want to up the effort by leg weights. Anyone does that to get more of a challenge?

[@markwebber4855]

That was hard with a capital "F'.

[@kingzak491]

GCN 👋 get me a trainer pls, trying to get fit and loose weight 💙

[@sparx550]

Goodbye 400 calories.
