Looks like they are close to making have made their goal of having One Thousand Indoor Cyclists at this event! Updated 2/4/10
I just saw an email that, as of this morning, they have 925 riders registered. It should be a lot of fun and I'm guaranteed a great parking spot at the Target Center – I'm helping to unload trucks and wheel bikes into place, starting at 4:00am Sunday morning.
If you plan to be there let me know so I can say hi! Posted by John. For some strange reason my blog doesn't know who I am anymore 🙁

We Want the Best!
Stage5 Cycling is looking for the best indoor cycling instructors in the country and we are willing to put our money where our mouth is. Starting in 2010, we will be searching for 10 scholarship candidates per city to receive our 2-Day / 14-Hour comprehensive indoor cycling workshop. Recipients only have to pay for the workbook ($30) and we will cover the cost of the workshop registration ($245).
Why Are We Doing This?
Our workshops and certification is in demand all over the country and we don’t have enough educators to meet the demand. Stage5 Cycling’s goal is 2-fold: (1) populate the country with some of the most amazing indoor cycling instructors and programs available and (2) find and train those exceptional instructors that can become educators.

A Trojan Virus sent me (and I'm presuming every one of the Innercycling members) an email this morning that had the header: New Private Message at Innercycling Forums: “Your Indoor Cycling Place in Cyberspace!”
DO NOT RESPOND! It is a Trojan Virus and not actually from Innercycling.
There should be a special place in Hell for the people who distribute these viruses.
http://www.innercycling.com/ has been down all morning. I hope that Billy can get everything back up and running without too much trouble.
Here is what it said:
