As an avid cyclist I am constantly pondering whether or not to Spin. This is especially true when the snow starts to melt and the roads start to become navigable by bicycle. Today is a perfect example, sunny skies, with a forecasted high of +9 degrees Celsius.

So why not do both? I made the right decision this morning and went to to the 10 AM Spin class at Goodlife. The stars were aligned inasmuch as one of favorite instructors (Jo) was leading the class. Plus I had my friends Laurie & Renza on either side of me. Look straight ahead and there’s Jo as motivating as ever helping me purge my body of Saturday evening’s “sins”. Glance to the left and Laurie is spinning away. To the right, and Renza is working like crazy!

Class was great. Thanks ladies – you are all great “motovators”!

It’s Noon. Pump out this BLOG post, have a plate of pasta, and then get on my new road bike for a nice Sunday afternoon ride.

Does it get any better than this?
