10. Anine Stag - Trying You On

Well, today's track list was primarily the same as this past Thursday's Sexy Spin track list that was interrupted and switched all around because of the fire alarm that went off that morning. However, because it was Maria's birthday spin and she requested such great songs, I wanted to play it again today in its original order as it was intended to be played.

And, I added Crunch member and Ride with Tommy frequent rider, Anine Stag's song, "Trying You On." Anine is leaving for Norway tomorrow to launch her singing career there. She gave me an advance copy of her single to play in class. I promised her I would play it in class yesterday, and I didn't. After apologizing profusely, I promised to play it today and I'm so glad I did! It is such a fun song. I wish her all the best in making it big time back in Norway, and I hope she comes back stateside as soon as possible so she can tackle the music industry here! Good luck, Anine! Sending you all the best wishes for much success!

Well, this morning was a bit unusual with the fire alarm going off at about 6:55am and power not returning to the stereo until about 7:25! Thanks so much to all of you who stayed! You guys are amazing! We warmed up "acapella" for about 15 minutes and then worked very hard for about 20 minutes for those that had to leave by 7:45 to get to work. Then we continued for those that could stay until about 8:00 to get a full (and then some) class completed! Again, thanks so much for putting up with everything!

And I want to give the happiest of birthday shoutouts to Maria whose birthday was this past Sunday! Maria provided me with her favorite spin songs, so this mornings class set to her favorites and some of the most fun music to spin to (even though I had to mix the order all up due to the fire alarm).

Birthday shoutouts also go to Mary and Alyssa!

And a great big THANKS! to Gregory for being such a great sport in class this morning! You rock!

I'll be posting my sub schedule later today, but I hope to see you tomorrow (Friday) and/or Saturday morning!

In good health,

tommy

I just want to give a great big "THANK YOU!" to everyone who attended this morning's class. I am so very sorry that class was full and we had to turn some of you away, but know that I am so very grateful for every one of you that woke up early and made it to the gym at such an early hour to help celebrate my birthday and the anniversaries of my teaching, my blog, and Sexy Spin!

Special thanks goes out to our special guests this morning:

*Glenn Gaylord, Director of Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat and Co-writer of "It's You", the theme from the movie that we played in class as well! Thanks, Glenn, for bringing a copy of the Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat dvd which was released this past Tuesday, November 10, 2009 and was included in part of a prize package given away at the end of class!

*Robert Rave, Author of "Spin" which I keep telling Robert is a book about indoor cycling, but he insists is about the world of publicists, which is sure to be made into a movie very soon and 3 copies of which Robert brought to be part of a prize package given away at the end of class!

And special thanks also to all the sponsors that donated items for the prizes and gift bags:

*Yogurt Stop donated a FREE YOGURT coupon in each gift bag and prize package which included a Yogurt Stop hat and t-shirt! And Maggie, Crunch member and a part of the Yogurt Stop team, was in class representin'!

*Starbucks provided the bags for the gift bags as well as FREE VIA INSTANT COFFEE and coupons in each bag. Laura, Manager of the Starbucks just outside of Crunch, was also there riding for the first time!

*Macy's provided Family & Friends Discount coupons for each gift bag. Thanks to Crunch member and Macy's star employee, Rafael, who brought the coupons and was also there to ride the ride in person!

*Rockstar provided an energy drink for each gift bag as they have done so often in the past!

*Sunstyle Tanning, Official Sponsor of Sexy Spin provided $100 coupons and 2 FREE TAN gift certificates which were given away as part of each prize package given away at the end of class!

*Crunch provided Havaianas sandals, key chains and lip balm for every gift bag!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this morning's class such an amazing event and so much fun and so sexy and so helpful in raising awareness for such a great cause, the Baby Dragon 180 Ride benefitting the LA Gay & Lesbian Center's youth, mental health and crystal meth recovery services.

Guy B to sub the Red Line Ride Friday, October 30, 2009 at 9:30am!

Hey everybody!

I just wanted to thank Guy B for subbing the 9:30am Red Line Ride class at Crunch tomorrow morning, Friday, October 30, 2009. He is trained to teach the Red Line Ride and is a great instructor!

I, unfortunately, will be attending the memorial service for Crunch member and a regular attendee of the Ride with Tommy, Spencer Yu. I am filled with sadness at his unfortunate passing, but remembering what an amazing, happy, charitable person he was. He will definitely be missed!
