So today was a special Valentine's Day Red Line Ride. If you didn't know already, the Red Line Ride is a heart rate monitor based class where you wear a heart rate monitor and see your heart rate projected on a screen at the front of class. It is a highly visual class with numbers and colors to help educate and motivate you to work harder as you learn more about what your heart does as you workout. It is a really fun class! Crunch was the first in the world to offer this type of class 5 years ago in January of 2009 with the Suunto Fitness Solution as the technology! And I put together a special track list to celebrate Valentine's Day, a day long associated with affairs of the heart, as we participated in this week's Red Line Ride, where we can monitor the physical activities of our hearts!

Also, I continued to choose a random winner each week to Celebrate February Resolutions, a commitment to change, and help raise awareness for a group, cause or movement that is trying to create a positive change in the world. Last week, in Saturday's Ride with Tommy!, I gave Cole a Crunch gift bag as we gave a shout out to the Uprising of Love organization which was created by Dustin Lance Black, Bruce Cohen, Linda Wallem and Melissa Etheridge. Uprising Of Love was created to support the LGBTI community in Russia and to raise awareness among the international community regarding the harrassment and violence the LGBTI community faces there in Russia. I also played the song, "Uprising of Love" written by Melissa Etheridge specifically for the organization. Well, I am a host of the Los Angeles Awards Dinner for the Family Equality Council which held their event at Universal Studios last Saturday night. Melissa was a special guest there and performed the same song that I played in class that morning! Coincidence? Fate? Universal synergy? Well, that leads me to this weeks special organization announcement. Ride with Tommy! regular, Elke, won the drawing for a Starbucks gift card as I announced that the Family Equality Council was this weeks special organization! The Family Equality Council connects, supports, and represents the three million parents who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender in this country and their six million children. The Family Equality Council is working to change attitudes and policies to ensure that all families are respected, loved, and celebrated. Another extremely worthy organization so very worthy of my humble shout out this week. Please visit their website, www.familyequality.org, for more information and to learn what you can do to help!
