The “ribbing” is real, and it’s part of what makes this ride so special. Whether it’s Matt’s precision coaching or Christian’s quick wit, their bromance keeps riders entertained and motivated for the full two hours.

A Look Back at Last Year’s Ride

Last year’s Peloton Valentine’s Day Ride was a massive hit, with thousands of Peloton members tuning in to celebrate love, fitness, and friendship. Matt and Christian pushed riders through a challenging yet rewarding endurance session. Their camaraderie and lighthearted jabs at each other made the ride feel like a party on wheels, and it quickly became a fan-favorite event.

What to Expect This Year

This year’s Peloton Valentine’s Day Ride is scheduled for February 14th at 8am EST, the two-hour endurance ride will challenge your stamina while keeping you entertained with Matt and Christian’s signature mix of coaching and comedy. Expect a leaderboard packed with riders from all over the world, ready to celebrate the day of love with some serious sweat. Bring snacks! You need to fuel during a two hour ride. (We predict a banana from Matt and an orange from CVV).

Whether you’re riding solo, with a partner, or with your Peloton crew, this event is the perfect way to kick off Valentine’s Day. And who knows? You might even find yourself laughing so hard at their banter that you forget how hard you’re working.
