Blakes cycling

Welcome to Blakes' 2027 Tour Alberta for Cancer Training program

Starting January 12, 2027, Blakes is proud to present a series of indoor group rides in preparation for the 2027 Tour Alberta for Cancer.

The Blakes Team starts up on Jan 12th 2027 !

For future RSVPs, please see below's schedule.

Below are answers to some common questions regarding the indoor rides.

What does each indoor ride involve? A 55 minute indoor spin and cycling class, followed by dinner and beverages, all hosted at The Doctrine's downtown studio.

What's the difference between spin and cycling? It's really only what you're sitting on. In our studio, you have the option to bring your own bike to ride on for the class, (setup on a trainer provided by The Doctrine), or simply show up and use one of our spin bikes. If you have a look at the picture below, you will see participants on both spin bikes and their own personal bikes.

I've never been on a road bike before, is this ok? Absolutely. We are starting preparation in the winter to give you the opportunity to join us, learn the hobby, learn to love it, and figure out how to get you cycling outside!

What do I need to bring to class? If you are coming to the class and using a spin bike, then all you need are comfortable gym clothes or cycling shorts, good runners, a water bottle, and a towel. That's it! Cycling shoes will also be available for anyone who would like to ride in them for the class. If you are planning on bringing your bike, just touch base with Trev Williams (owner and operator of The Doctrine) to let him know what type of bike you're bringing and come about 10 minutes early.

How early should I be for class? You don't need to come super early. You just need enough time to change between your work and gym clothes and throw your runners on. So around 5:20pm should be plenty of time.

Can I shower after cycling? Absolutely. There are showers in both change rooms, with towels provided.

What if I miss classes? Do I get behind? No way! The beauty of starting the prep inside is that you attend when you can and make your own progress. We'd love if you got into the habit of joining us, however, we know life gets busy sometimes. We'll ensure to value your time and make each class worth your effort to attend.
