Patrick Dicus is a Category 1 road racer with experience at UCI stage races, Belgian Kermesses, Spanish national races, National level criteriums, and almost all premier road events in the Northeast US. He has been an endurance athlete for over 8 years with the latter 5 of which being spent in and around the sport of road cycling.

His training focus is centered primarily around balance. In order to succeed in as time consuming a sport as cycling, it is crucial that his athletes are able to adequately view their lives comprehensively, taking into account both on and off bike stresses, as well prioritizing adequate recovery. For these reasons, it is imperative for Patrick to have in-depth, day to day knowledge of his athletes schedules and life commitments. Only through understanding the total day to day life of his athletes, can Patrick begin to adequately assess what training is possible.

Through completing high volumes of training (despite not being a professional cyclist) year after year, Patrick has years of experience navigating these questions and finding workable solutions to them. Ultimately, he hopes to be able to empower his own athletes such that they eventually can make decisions for themselves, and have an in depth knowledge of their own training needs.
