In this episode:
First, I received an email from Judith Buckley, an Indoor Cycling Instructor, in Saudi Arabia! My first response was "Wow! Can you believe I have listeners that far away?" That got me thinking about who is my most remote listener?
So I decided to have a contest to find out!
If you are an Indoor Cycling Instructor and outside of North America, I would love for you to enter the contest. Email your picture showing you in your "remote" location.
I will be announcing the winner the first week of May. EpicPlanet.tv has offered to send the winner two "American Epic Rides" that they can use in their class. I'm also hoping to interview the winner for a future show.
Second, I interview Richard Baldarelli and Ashley Stanton, two Indoor Cycling Instructors and riders in the latest DVD from EpicPlanet.tv; epic Acadia. Richard and Ashley describe being part of the filming of a cycling DVD. http://youtu.be/ftCTp_iDRYs

Sport and Exercise Psychology Expert, Dr. Haley Perlus and I discuss the responses to a question I asked a while back; "What frustrates you as an Indoor Cycling Instructor?" I found that after reviewing the 80 responses I could divide the act of teaching an effective and entertaining Indoor Cycling Class into three categories:
Foundation - class profile, training zones
Presentation - communication and interpersonal skills
Media - music & videos
The majority were related to finding music and playlists. Next were frustrations on finding new class profiles and introducing real training principles into a class.

Dr Alinda Perrine joins me again! We discuss introducing Heart Rate Training to your Indoor Cycling Class and announce the formation of a NuMetrex Instructor Panel. One of the Instructor "testing" opportunities I was hinting about.
Alinda is the Celebrity Coach for NuMetrex and and creator of ZoneX™ Sensible Heart Rate Training.
About NuMetrex Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Clothes -from their site -The NuMetrex line of heart rate monitoring athletic apparel uses innovative “smart fabric” technology that incorporates special sensing fibers directly into the fabric of its garments.

Minneapolis was the last stop on the Global Ride Tour. It was at Pedal Indoor Cycling Studio a wonderful private studio in NE
Minneapolis. The studio's owner Maryjo Hackett made everything work on short notice. I had a chance to sit down and hear from Spinning Instructor Gene Nacey about his two week, 9,500 mile road show. Gene was telling me that he has been editing and uploading videos to YouTube while they drove between towns. I felt a little competition brewing so I wanted to get this up before he got on the airplane this afternoon.
