FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PASO ROBLES, California  Jan. 26, 2026 – The Wildflower Experience, one of the most iconic endurance festival events, is proud to announce a new partnership with Velocity Indoor Cycling App, bringing the legendary Wildflower bike courses directly to athletes – anywhere in the world.

Riders can join live, or on-demand sessions led by a coach who has raced the Wildflower courses for over 20 years, offering insider tips, pacing strategies, and course-specific insights.

But these rides go far beyond watts and elevation. “These Wildflower Velocity rides will have every rider who joins completely ready for race day. I can’t wait to share the secrets to success at Wildflower through this amazing platform” shares Ian Murray Wildflower Ambassador and Velocity ride coach.  During each session, athletes will also hear fun facts and insider knowledge about the Wildflower Experience, from festival schedules and clinic topics to shake-out run trails and pre-race weekend highlights, bringing the full Wildflower atmosphere into training.
