Subs for the Ride with Tommy! December 20-28, 2013

Thanks again to everyone for showing up and being a part of the amazing Extra Special "Give the Shirt Off Your Back" Sexy Christmas Spin yesterday morning. It was a blast!

I will be going out of town to spend the holidays with family, so here are the amazing instructors who will be covering my classes while I am away:

Friday, December 20, 9:30am - Guy B. (this will be a regular Ride, not a Red Line Ride)
Saturday, December 21, 9:45am - Guy B.
Monday, December 23, 9:30am - Amy R. (this will be a regular Ride, not a Red Line Ride)
Tuesday, December 24, 7:00am - NO CLASS (the gym opens at 7:00am but there will be no 7am Ride)

Thursday, December 26, 7:00am - Dani D.
Friday, December 27, 9:30am - Amy R. (this will be a regular Ride, not a Red Line Ride)
Saturday, December 28, 9:45am - Dani D.

I will be back in class and teaching the next Red Line Ride on Monday, December 30, 9:30am. I hope to see you then!

There will be a special schedule on New Year's Day. Be sure to check the schedule before taking class on New Year's Day. I will not be teaching, but I believe there will be two Rides: the first one will be at 12:00noon, and the second one immediately following at 1:00pm. I will be back on the bike early Thursday morning, January 2, 2014 for the first Ride with Tommy! of 2014. I hope to see you then as well!

In good health,

tommy

Okay, yes, this track list is a little "non-current". That's because today is my actual birthday, and I wanted to play some of my favorite SPIN songs that I've used over the years (not THAT many years!) So these are some of my favorites and judging by the energy that everyone brought into class today, some music doesn't become outdated. Hopefully, neither do some spinning instructors! I say that today is my ACTUAL birthday because I want to celebrate my birthday in my favorite class of the week, Thursday morning's Sexy Spin. So if you can, and I would LOVE it if you could, make plans now to attend the next edition of the Ride with Tommy!'s Extra Special Sexy Birthday Spin! Thursday morning, 7:00am, November 14, 2013, Crunch Fitness - Sunset. Now go out and have a great weekend!

In good health!

This morning's class was a great big celebration! Not only did we celebrate the fact that we were all physically and mentally there in class and able to work out and challenge ourselves as much as we possibly can (which is a fact that we should never take for granted!), we also celebrated some lifetime milestones of a few Ride with Tommy! regulars! Happy birthday to Maureen! Maureen has celebrated at least 8 birthdays with the Ride with Tommy! And she has even celebrated a few anniversaries of her 36-year marriage to her husband Larry with us! And speaking of anniversaries, Phil and Allison will be celebrating theirs before too long as they just recently were engaged! How great is that!?!? Thanks to Maureen, Phil and Allison for sharing their very special milestones with us, and I wish you all many many more years of love and happiness and health!
