Hi guys, So I do spinning with this amazing instructor - Khalid - who is volunteering to do a 3 hour spinning class on Saturday, November 6th, 2010 at 10:am, at the NAUTILUS-Cour du Roi.
If you are a Nautilus member - its free - if not...I need to find out but I think its a $20 guest pass - I'll confirm/ give them a call.
*He also gives a weekly 1.5 hour spinning class at the Mont-Royal Nautilus Thursday nights at 6:pm in case you are interested.
We tried to make a deal with Nautilus to give the Ride people a weekly 3 hour spinning class for 10 weeks-during the Winter season - which would be awesome...still working on that though-they basically want to charge $150 -BUT won't compensate the instructor adequately for a 3 hour class..perhaps the Ride office needs to get involved/make us a deal.
Will do. Those of you coming - make sure you bring: clip shoes if you have them, towel for your bike, two large bottles of water, gatorade, banana,protein bar..whatever you like using-Nautilus sells these of course-but just in case you have a recipe you like to use. He notes - bring a change of riding jersey/t-shirt - you may want to change halfway as you are soaked within the first 30 minutes and since its indoors/ventilation-he warns you can actually start shivering (?)
Well it was GREAT!! You heat up a lot faster than out on the road though..holly cow - I went through 1 large Gatorade, 6 bottles of water and a power bar...and yes-the shivers came 5 minutes after we got off the bikes for stretch - next time Im bringing a jacket/long-sleeve to put on right after. Used my replenishing lessons from the previous rides - water-sweet-salt- (pee) water-sweet-salt...all went well-could have gone on for quite a while.
Spoke to the Ride-still trying to work something out to get a 10-week Winter session. Otherwise- we've planned on doing this once a month - just for fun. There were only 8 that showed up- no one from the Ride- but we had a great time.
I'll let you know when the next one is happening. Sophie
