Who? Tristar Athletes Northeast team
What? Established in 2016, A hard but smart hard group ride of cyclists and triathletes organized by Tristar Jeff Schelppy
Where? Southern Connecticut, Darien.
When? See the ride details below
…After a long hiatus, the Cinderella Ride is finally back.
What exactly is a Cinderella Ride? It is a night ride that rolls at 9pm for 35-40 ish miles. You will be home by midnight or thereabouts (Cinderella, get it?) and face little-to-no collateral damage at the home front. That's a riding win for you!
Why ride at night? Because it's awesome. There are very few cars if any, you can ride center lane vs hard right, and it's like being a kid again and who doesn't want that?!?
Is it safe? Given I have crashed going uphill in broad daylight I would consider the Cinderella Ride "fairly safe". Riding at night requires a lot of lights, solid bike handling skills, and a sense for adventure. If you are no fun at all, this is not for you.
Are you serious? Yes. The first CR took place on 10/5/16 with 4 people..see the picture above!

Hope to see you Wednesday night, Jeff
Our Tristar ELITE Coaching represents the very best in one to one instruction with our pro coaches. We start off by getting to know you one to one.

When it comes to racing the onus and pressure is on you; to perform at your best, but what if the pressure is not there? How do you keep the throttle wide open to raise the bar and have a great performance?
Race to your best ability for your stand alone 5K-13.1 race. View our pacing chart and guide for pace, training stress and intensity factor.
Coach Megan Tobin qualifies for New Zealand Worlds at Campeche 70.3. We sit down with her to learn more about her race and accomplishment.
Due to a lack of wind resistance while running on a treadmill, the effort of running on a treadmill at 0% incline is less than that of running on a level road at the same pace. Our Tristar chart can help you get an approximate equivalent effort for zones between running on a treadmill at different paces and inclines and running outdoors on a level surface. Learn how you can use the normalized graded pace incline chart to target different pace zones with slower uphill running efforts.
As the CEO and master of your mind, you determine and decide each day what thoughts are allowed to enter you consciousness and be acted on. Dont let self imposed limits stop you from long term and big goals. What if your true potential remains untapped due to mental limits? At Tristar Athletes, we find regularly that our athletes reach physical limitations imposed by their brains. What is actually possible may never happen because we don’t believe it can happen.
Tristar Athletes, we are closely watching races and training in the coming months. We would like to update you with our suggested plans for your race season and planning.
I began competing in triathlons back in 2009. I loved everything about the sport and ate up all information available as a new student in the game. While training and racing fed my obsession, being self-coached presented several challenges, namely a performance plateau. I enjoyed a brief stint with a coach in 2011 that produced some desired results and overuse injuries that ultimately steered me away from coaching for another 4 years. While I tried to recreate the PRś achieved under a coach between 2012-2015, I simply wasn't getting faster, which was a problem.
