The first brick session of the season starts April 1st! You can either purchase sessions separately (pay as you go) or as part of the ALL-YOU-CAN-TRAIN package which is by far the greatest money saver.

We have greatly expanded our training programs for the 2008 season. Our BRIKPAKs are now THREE days a week (an increase from two days a week). Our cadre of professional coaches will lead our weekly runs and weekend rides. In addition, we have designated a few races as our Main/Primary Races (see our calendar announcement for details).

We are also introducing a new pricing tier:
The TANYC ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN Package.

With this package, which includes membership, you can purchase all of our BRICKPAKs, weekly rides and runs year-round, and also get our great benefits for the low price of $300. You will receive a high quality racing singlet or jersey too! The ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN package gives you the most cost effective means to get our programs in a flexible way.

The ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN package offers:
o ALL Three BRIKPAKS (9 weeks at 3 days a week each. $140 each if purchased separately under the PAY-AS-YOU-GO package)
o FULL MEMBERSHIP ($60 if purchased separately)
o Our weekly runs and bikes (from late Jan.-Nov. at least once week. $100 if purchased separately)
o Free Singlet or Uniform
o ALL Comprehensive Benefits membership benefits such as free mentors assigned; our weekly newsletter; our free high tech online graphical training; access to 600-member discussion group; discounts to major triathlon; running and biking stores in NYC; 20% membership discount to the YMCA; and more.

For those who want to buy a la carte, you can still purchase our various programs separately (BRIKPAKs, weekly rides, runs, membership, etc) under our PAY-AS-YOU-GO packages. These packages are only available to TANYC members.
