On May 15, we celebrate the International Day of Families. For instructors who want a ready-made class profile, try this ride called “It’s A Family Affair.” It’s an interval-based workout with challenging sections that push your limits while allowing you to reflect on the people who make life meaningful.Read more…
This profile takes inspiration from the adrenaline-pumping soundtrack of the iconic film, Top Gun, setting the stage for a series of intense intervals that mirror the rounds of dogfighting where pilots compete for the prestigious “Top Gun” title. Riders will embark on five challenging “rounds” of test flights (VO2 max intervals), each designed to push them to their limits and enhance their skills.Read more…
A dance-themed ride built on songs about dancing, this profile blends fast flats, climbs, and short bursts of intensity. With that theme driving the ride, the rhythm fuels your effort while you stay grounded in solid technique, channeling the beat into powerful, purposeful riding.Read more…

Dixie first presented this Boston Marathon ride at WSSC in the mid-2000s, and it quickly became one of the iconic, empowering sessions instructors spoke about across the country. I was thrilled when she agreed to write it up for ICA members, including all of her powerful coaching cues, and filled with the intensity and the rich history of the Boston Marathon. You are in for a special treat! We also have a running-themed bucket playlist with over 300 songs.Read more…
Our Paris–Roubaix profile has long been one of the most-loved race day rides at ICA. It’s unlike anything else you’ll teach—after all, there aren’t many chances to immerse your riders in the chaos and challenge of grinding over ancient cobblestones, dodging mud or dust, and fighting for traction. While the real-life course is brutal, in class we keep it safe and fun…but still work our butts off. The best news—it’s been updated for 2025 with inspired coaching to help you make this ride even more memorable. My latest playlist was updated last year—and it’s my best one yet!Read more…

Also included are two bucket playlists for party and birthday themes.Read more…
