The WTF is operated by the CNY Triathlon Club, with sponsorship by the Onondaga Cycling Club. The WTF is in the lower level of Dunk and Bright Furniture (D&B), located at the corner of S. Salina St and Brighton Ave Syracuse NY.
Training Rides
The facility has 50 Kurt Kinetic trainers, a sound system, and two large-screen video monitors. Rides are volunteer-led, are free for paid members of our Club, and run from November through March. Most classes are approximately one hour. There are also some 2-hour classes.
Check the calendar for class times! Bring your bike, water bottle, towel and your desire to have a great workout. Be sure to sign-in for each session. The WTF has a women’s and men’s changing area, a bathroom in the facility and nearby in the mall.
Remember to have a trainer skewer on your back wheel. You can pick one up at any local bike shop. 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 up your bike.
You may store your bike at the WTF for the season, the cost is $20.
