Why Cycling CME?
Bike Rides combined with Interactive CME
The open road, single-track, beautiful scenery, great camaraderie, local food and wine...all come together to create the perfect environment for fun and learning.
You can obtain your required CME anywhere, and there certainly are other cycling tours, but at CYCLING CME we combine the two to create a unique experience for unique people.
Unique is CME focused on exercise as medicine and nutrition on health
Unique is an exciting shared experience with others who enjoy cycling and the outdoors
Unique is riding through the Red Rocks of Colorado and beyond
Unique is being able to combine your CME goals with a great travel adventure
CME
What Is Our Focus? Exercise as Medicine, Nutrition for Health, and Common MSK Problems
Every day at Cycling CME is a blend of education, interacting with colleagues, and physical activity. Our CME objective is to provide necessary and useful CME using a multi-disciplinary approach. Our groups are small, helping to create an atmosphere conducive to interactive learning in a “hands-on” environment and our learning format emphasizes group participation and workshops. We strive to communicate ideas that can be applied to the patients we encounter in our daily practice.
Our CME curriculum is based on needs assessments for physicians in primary care, yet includes information pertinent to other specialties as well. Our CME goal is to continually strive to deliver quality education by regularly reviewing literature so our curriculum remains current..
Cycling
It's just fun to be on a bike! Whether you come for our road biking conference or mountain biking conference, our rides will take you through some of the most beautiful landscape in Colorado. We craft our itineraries to include a variety of routes as our cyclists will tackle climbs & descents and cruise on the flats, and our mountain bikers will find themselves on sweet single track and gravel roads. We believe in active travel and enjoying the world with all our senses; we think a bike is one of the best ways to accomplish this!
Food
Are you a Foodie? This new craze is sweeping the Nation and we have jumped on the bandwagon! Our goal is to provide you with, and direct you to, food that is inspired by local chefs. We want our food intake to produce great energy output. Whether eating together as a group, or enjoying a meal on your own, plan on eating some delicious food!
Accommodations
Our accommodations will vary from trip to trip. However, we will strive for great places to unwind and simply recharge. Our aim is to create an environment that encourages renewal from the busy lives we lead. We want you to be rested and energized when you get back home; but, there is a chance your legs will be tired!
