Friday Night BIG Ride Setup in 60 Seconds

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.

2011 Session Handouts

Following the trend of all the other fitness conferences; we've decided not to kill a bunch of trees and end up throwing away piles of unused presenter's notes.

Instead we have all the available Presenter's notes and handouts online for you to print and bring to the conference, if you choose.

I have created this page with links to all of the available Presenter's notes / handouts along with the final conference agenda.

See you then.

We’re ready to take off for Boston

 

Amy and I are getting ready to fly to Boston!

We're very excited to meet, ride, train and party with everyone coming to the conference… and I'm sure there will be a few hugs 🙂

If everything works as planned we will be displaying a continuous live feed video from the conference, instead of the normal home page. Our plan is to keep this feed as entertaining as possible and we will also be posting updates and pictures from the conference all weekend.

Please tune in for our FREE streaming presentation of the BIG ride featuring Cameron and Pam from STAGES Indoor Cycling / FreeMotion @ 4:30 Eastern Saturday or the recorded version. Information about it and the other sessions you can view online is here.

Teaching Spinning® In Jamaica!

The view Brenda was missing while teaching

I know it's a little early to think about a warm vacation but I just had to post this. Instructor Brenda Moeske learned about Working Fitness Vacations on a Podcast. After talking to Amy last year at the conference Brenda scheduled her vacation to teach for the week at Couples Tower Isle.

She sent this quick email when she got back:

It turned out to be a fabulous week!  I taught my last class (group fitness) class this morning.  I did group fitness at 9 a.m. and spin at 5:00 p.m.  I had some good classes!  My participants said I was missing a great view!!  They don't have us teach on Friday afternoons and of course Saturday's.  What an amazing experience!!  My husband has thanked me the entire trip and the hospitality has been wonderful!!!  We have already been on the website planning our next one!  Thanks again for letting us know about FitPro Travel!!!!  See you in a week!

What she means by “See you in a week!” is that she will be at the conference again this year. Just look for the tan – healthy looking Instructor in the front row.

Amy and I have been to Couples Tower Isle a number of times and it's really a beautiful place. We have a whole website dedicated to helping you take a very low cost Working Fitness Vacation just like Brenda did last week. Go to workingfitnessvacation.comÂ
