Dryland training isn't just for Skiing - Jason Bond

Dynamic Life Cycles

This winter, we’re talking about staying fit and ready for the trails, even when the weather turns. Jason Bond, founder of Bond Training, joins us to share his experience and strategies for maintaining cycling fitness during the colder months. With 25 years of competitive cycling under his belt, Jason dives into his six-month mountain bike dryland program, designed to build strength and power that translates seamlessly to your summer rides. He also shares personal stories about adapting to winter conditions and how activities like skiing can complement off-season training.

We’ll also get into the mental side of high-stakes sports like BMX racing and downhill biking. Jason offers insight into managing pressure, building self-belief, and focusing on growth, key elements for young athletes navigating competition. It’s all about embracing the journey and learning from every challenge along the way.

As cycling grows in popularity across all ages, we explore why strength training is becoming essential, not just for peak performance but also for staying injury-free, especially for older riders. Whether you’re a young enthusiast or someone in your sixties looking to stay active, there’s something here for you.

Finally, we look at how hybrid training, combining skill development with strength work, is changing the game. We touch on the role of technology in tracking progress and even dive into exciting developments like BMX team expansions and the growing cycling community at the North Shore Bike Park.
