Slowly but surely, Spotify is catching on within the Master Instructor community. And with good reason. There isn’t any better way to share music playlists. I’m sure I’m not alone in asking for a playlist at the end of a training – which I’m sure can be a lot of extra work for a MI.…

Wow, have we been enjoying the new Free Motion bikes at our club! Lately, the first 20 minute stage of our ride has been a long flat stage, building throughout to see what kind of watts we can generate. Then, a nice recovery before doing the same 20 minute stage, but on a long climb-…

Where have I been? Why didn’t I know about this artist? I was talking to a friend today and she told me that she was on-line last night trying to get tickets for this concert. It was nearly impossible!!! OK, I’ll bite. Who is this band that sells out almost immediately? It’s Florence + The Machine and I’m…
