🚴 TOUR de V2s IS ROLLING IN 🚴

Thirty climbs. Thirty minutes. Zero bikes.

We’re turning the gym into a race course for a fast, friendly, wildly unserious climbing challenge built around V0–V2 boulders.

Your mission: climb as many marked boulders as you can before time runs out.

Spandex optional. Big energy required.
