Joe Ducosin in the middle of Biggest Loser contestants O'Neil Hampton, Pete Thomas, Sunshine Hampton and Jessie Atkins.
ICI/PRO member Joe Ducosin invited Amy and me to a special event at Cycle Quest Indoor Cycling Studio, Joe's new studio in Eden Prairie, MN.
The event was a kick off for the Minnesota Tour de Cure, a fundraising ride for the American Diabetes Association. It featured Biggest Loser contestants O'Neil Hampton, Pete Thomas, Sunshine Hampton and Jessie Atkins.
All four are very inspirational and Amy and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and riding with them.
During the break between the two classes held that evening, I had the chance to talk with Biggest Loser season 2 at home winner Pete Thomas and convince him to be a guest on a future episode of the Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast.
Amy's interview with Pete is below and includes some footage from the class lead by these incredible Losers 🙂
