Indoor Cycle Instructor Gear Bag

Amy suggested that we have something special for all of the returning Instructors this year and I completely agreed… but what?

I though it would be nice if we could provide something that would communicate the professionalism of the Indoor Cycling Instructors who attended both of our conferences. I had 100 of these very nice ICI/PRO Instructor Gear Bags made and we gave them as our heart felt gift to everyone who participated last year. It's a good thing we brought extra as we quickly sold another 35 of them to first time attendees.

If you would like to tell the world you are an ICI/PRO Instructor I still have a limited number available.

The dimensions are H 11″ x W 12.5″ x L 18.25″ and the bag includes a nice ventilated side pocket for your shoes or your wet clothes. We sold then at the conference for $40.00 and for only $9.00  USPS will deliver one to your home or office in the USA.

Here's the link to purchase your very own ICI/PRO Instructor Gear Bag. Sorry – sold out.

Friday Night BIG Ride Setup in 60 Seconds


Mark Dalrymple was part of the contingent from Cycling Fusion who helped our event be the success that it was. Over the weekend I had the pleasure of getting to know Mark and learn that he was the actual brains behind the creation of the Class Builder App + a world class photographer. I plan to display many more of Mark's photos like the pictures featured in the slider and this post. When he showed me this time-lapse video showing the Friday night ride setup I couldn't wait to share it to you 🙂

The ICI/PRO Peloton

This ride was soooooo awesome!

Master Instructor Tom Scotto lead his ICI/PRO Peloton through a series of “Towns” with the support of his fantastic band. I was a bit skeptical about how the band would interact with Tom and the class…they couldn't have worked together more seamlessly 🙂
 
Here are some pictures from the ride last night with many more to come.

October will be a HUGE month for all of us

We chose this weekend for the ICI/PRO Conference so Instructors will be ready for the start of our new season – and here we are!

Beyond having our classes begin to fill (as if that's not enough) there's a bunch of other stuff I'm really excited about coming this month:

  • We're adding a new line of women's clothing to our ICI/PRO Instructor Discount program
  • Cycling Fusion is launching their new service October 10th
  • Leslie Mueller has her Alignment Exercises for Cyclists videos completed and available
  • Zoning Fitness will be reporting on the Beta testing of their new 6 week 2T/3Z Blink HR training program
  • We're adding additional resources over at Pedal-On.com
  • EpicPlanet.tv will be releasing Epic Red Wing – their latest Indoor Cycling DVD featuring the lovely Mrs. Macgowan and your's truly on our Tandem Bicycle

And one other thing…

We'll be announcing the addition of another Sponsor / Contributor with a very familiar name, later this week 🙂

They will join our other excellent partners: Cycling Fusion, Keiser, STAGES/FreeMotion, Zoning Fitness and Spynergy Consulting – demonstrating our commitment to growing a truly Non-Denominational Indoor Cycling community.

Keiser shipping us 51 M3s

 

adjustable keiser m3 handlebars

Our friends from Keiser had originally agreed to provide 50 Keiser M3's for participants to ride this weekend. They are also sending us one of the new M3's with the Fore/Aft adjustable handlebars! For many of us the reach to the bars is a bit short on the M3. I have this post that includes a video and additional details about the new design.

I'll let you know what comments I hear this weekend and watch the free feed for some random interviews.
