Magic #3....Talk about Commitment!

2008-11-16T14:41:00.003-05:00

Spin Class was great! We rode 60 Virtual kilometers.

Here is Peter's Synopsis(Outside Ride):

We changed the route to shorten it a bit & to better use the wind to our advantage. Instead of going up Don Mills we turned off Eglington onto Sloan & then weaved our way up thru the Don Mills area & got onto Don Mills from Graydon Hall Drive ? right at the 401. Then we went up Don Mills/Leslie to Bloomington, west to Bayview, around Lake Wilcox to Yonge St in Oak Riges, south to Stouffville SD, East to Leslie & back home.

Stats: 90.82 km from my home (we all road from home), 3hr 17 min, 27.64 average speed (lots of wind & we had to keep waiting), max speed 54.8 kph.

Up north of Hwy 7 there was 2 inches of snow on the ground & the trees were coated in snow. Very pretty. The roads were mainly clear but we did ride thru snow/slush several times & the roads up north were very wet.

I just finished washing my bike. Good ride.

How was the spinning class ?? I take it most of the club was with you getting all sweaty as they weren't out being cold & wet with us.

Peter

PS - Thanks again for a great riding season & a great end of season bash. You're a good guy !

BCC 2 Hour Spin @ Lation A Success!

2008-10-26T16:22:00.003-05:00

Thanks to all the showed to the class. It seemed like everyone enjoyed the class and found it beneficial. Great workout!

For those of you that had a chance to ride outside - hope you had a great ride too! I guess you should NEVER trust the weather forecast. When the class was over @ 9am, I looked outside and it was sunny!

Anyways, If the weather co-operates next Sunday, I'm riding outside!

Cheers and enjoy the Pics!
