Thanks to all who attended and helped make the Extra Special Sexy Spin so much fun and such a success!

Thanks to everyone who attended last Thursday's Extra Special Sexy Spin class and helped make it so much fun! As I always do, I had such a great time putting together the music, the guests, the prizes and the gift bags. And I always find it rewarding to help - in even the smallest of ways - bring awareness to amazing causes or organizations.

Please visit the websites of the two organizations to which we helped bring attention:

1. LIFEWORKS (http://www.lifeworksla.org) - a youth development program at the LA Gay & Lesbian Center offering one on one, peer, and group mentoring opportunitiesfor for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth ages 12-24. LifeWorks helps LGBTQ youth to realize their dreams with a safe space, affirming role models, and fun worthwhile activities. Special thanks to Michael and Steven for not only being there, but for providing tickets to the Laugh Out Loud fundraiser held this past Sunday night which were given away as prizes in the drawings at the end of class!

2. BABY DRAGON FUND (http://www.babydragon180ride.org) - developed to raise funds to provide mental health and crystal meth recovery services, as well as to help LGBT youth. After the tragic loss of a loved one (whose nickname was Baby Dragon), family and friends created The Baby Dragon Fund to help those in our community, especially youth, find alternatives when dealing with addiction and mental health issues. The Baby Dragon 180 Ride was established to enhance the funding of these very important programs.

Thanks to Jeremy Basset, lead singer of the new band SKYROCKET LOVE who attended the Ride and along with his wife, Gayle, and publicist, Scott Harden, helped organize it and contributed to the gift bags.

Thanks to special guest Brian Worley, the wedding planner for the CW Network's SHREDDING FOR THE WEDDING which airs on Wednesday nights at 9:00pm pst, immediately following America's Next Top Model!

Thanks also to Jesse Jordan, JD from Season 3 of BRAVO Network's WORKOUT. Jesse not only attended and added so much sexiness to the Extra Special Sexy Spin class, he, as a Certified Massage Therapist, offered $25 off of a one-hour massage to everyone who attended the class. He also provided a free half-hour massage as a prize given away to lucky Ride with Tommy! regular, Muchin, when I drew her bike number!

And finally, thanks to all of the businesses and individuals who contributed to the gift bags and the prizes awarded at the drawings at the end of class:

1. Starbucks - be sure to visit manager Laura and her awesome staff as a thanks for once again providing the actual bags which held all the goodies in the gift bags provided for each rider in attendance!

2. Rockstar Energy Drinks - thanks to Chelsea for once again coming through and providing free samples of their newest flavors in each of the gift bags!

3. Veggie Grill - thanks to Kelly who not only provided gift cards redeemable for a side order of sweetheart fries in each gift bag, she also provided a $10 gift card to be given away as a prize in the end of class drawings!

4. CAUGHT - The Play which is now playing at the Zephyr Theatre on Melrose and once again extended through May! Two tickets were provided for the end of class drawings. I recently saw this play and it is amazing with an awesome cast and a very important message! Go see it as soon as you can!

5. Bodyfactory which provided a free drink for the drawings at the end of class. Be sure to visit them downstairs from Crunch for your post-workout shake or an amazing tan!

6. JOEY RUBINO - personal trainer to the stars and another Crunch instructor, provided bags and products for the gift bags as well as the prizes awarded at the end of class. Thanks, Joey! Be sure to visit his website for all of the products that you can purchase. And be sure to follow him on www.twitter.com!

Finally, thanks again to Crunch member and Ride with Tommy! regular, Michael Cautillo, who provided the gift basket that was never given away! As I explained at class, Michael works at Barney's and wanted to provide a skin care gift basket (valued at $300!). However, at class time, the gift basket was in the process of being stolen. I say "in the process" as it was taken and removed from the office location where I was holding it, but was found hidden away in another location after class. So, I apologize to everyone that the bag was not available to be awarded at the Extra Special Sexy Spin last Thursday. However, I have already spoken with Michael, and we will be giving it away at the next special class in May which will be help to promote all of the riders taking part in the historic California LifeCycle 10th-Anniversary ride in June. Thanks again Michael!

Extra Special Sexy Spin Tomorrow Thursday March 17, 2011 at 7:00am!

If you've been in class the last couple of weeks, you have heard me announce that tomorrow will be another one of my "extra special" classes that I do 3 or 4 times a year. These usually coincide timing wise with a special event that I feel is worthy of helping spread the word about a particular cause or function. Tomorrow is no different.

As with all "extra special" classes, there will be special guests, special music, and special prizes, all to help raise awareness for the especially worthwhile cause.

And also as with all "extra special" classes, we do not sacrifice the intensity of the Ride! We will still have the same intense Ride that you have become accustomed to or to expect, that will not change. I know a lot of you still need to get your workout and then get to work. No worries! I plan an even more fun Ride using the special music and then draw bike numbers for prizes at the end of class. And we have some really great prizes this time! Thanks to all who contributed!

Tomorrow morning's Extra Special Sexy Spin will help raise awareness for two amazing organizations, both housed under the LA Gay & Lesbian Center:

1. LifeWorks (http://www.lifeworksla.org - a youth development program at the LA Gay & Lesbian Center offering one on one, peer, and group mentoring opportunitiesfor for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth ages 12-24. LifeWorks helps LGBTQ youth to realize their dreams with a safe space, affirming role models, and fun worthwhile activities.

2. Baby Dragon Fund (http://www.babydragon180ride.org) - developed to raise funds to provide mental health and crystal meth recovery services, as well as to help LGBT youth. After the tragic loss of a loved one (whose nickname was Baby Dragon), family and friends created The Baby Dragon Fund to help those in our community, especially youth, find alternatives when dealing with addiction and mental health issues. The Baby Dragon 180 Ride was established to enhance the funding of these very important programs.

We will once again have special guests from the entertainment world, especially representing the music and television industries.

And once again, special thanks to all who contributed prizes:

1. Barney's
2. Rockstar
3. Starbucks
4. Veggie Grill

This list is growing and I will continue to update it as more items roll in!

So make plans now to attend tomorrow morning's Extra Special Sexy Spin!

In good health,

tommy
