Winter Training Facility

The Winter Training Facility is CLOSED for the season!  It will reopen in October 2012

The CNY Triathlon Club Winter Training Facility (WTF) provides a unique venue for winter time training. The WTF is located in the corridor between Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sears in Shoppingtown Mall. The space is equipped with 50 brand new Kurt Kinetic trainers, sound system, two large screen video monitors, CD/DVD player and even a disco ball (not kidding). Bring your bike, water bottle, towel and your desire to have a great workout.

The CNY Triathlon Club Winter Training Facility is available for use free of charge only to current members of the CNY Triathlon Club or Onondaga Cycling Club.

IMPORTANT INFO

• We are located in the “Community Wing” of Shoppingtown Mall. That is the space between Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sears. We are on your left, about 3/4 of the way down the corridor from Dick’s as you head toward Sears.  Don’t go past the stairs!
• You can park near Dick’s and walk your bike down from the Dick’s entrance to the Mall. You can also use the parking facility located between Sears and JC Penney. Exit the parking facility and use the entrance to the mall near but to the left of Sears entrance. Go up the escalator, go down the corridor to your right, and you will enter the Mall almost directly in front of the CNY Tri Club WTF.
• The Mall entrance opens at 6 a.m. during the week and 7 a.m. on Saturday’s.
• For safety reasons, it is recommended that you NOT use the “Employees Only” corridor that extends from the small parking area parallel to Erie Blvd and enters the Mall near the WTF.
• When the parking lot is wet or snow covered, carry your bike up to the mall entrance and roll your bike the rest of the way to the WTF. We want to keep the trainers corrosion free.
• If you have never used a bike trainer, no worries!  It is easy and the leader of the session will show you how to set your bike up.  After that it is easy!
• There is no bathroom in the WTF, but there is a restroom nearby in the Mall. Bring your water bottle prefilled from home.
• The WTF does have a women and men changing area.
• Bring a towel and water.  If coming to yoga, bring a mat, but there are mats available at the WTF.
• Be sure to sign-in for each session at the front table.
