Sexual Healing

Well, maybe the next best thing to sex is spinning, and spinning with KG. More about that later, maybe.  Today I felt quite neglected because Kristen usually calls out everyone’s name once or twice, with an endearing comment of encouragement or in the case of one clock watcher, scathing admonishments. Mine was conspicuously absent except for the fact that she came over twice and gave me personal instruction about having too much ‘road’ on and that it doesn’t have to be that treacherous. Principles above personalities is one of her character traits, but I felt I was sent to Coventry because I haven’t been in her class more than once in the last 8 weeks. And all my posts have been about other spin instructors.  So what was I doing back here again? Because I HAVE to be here. Yes, I have to because this is where it all began and I would never have had the impetus to write over 200 short stories about spinning, if it not were for the Queen of Spin, Kristen Gagne. 

She reminded me just like she always does that when I am in her room no one has more charisma, control, a better call and today fabulous choreography as well. Imagine, I liked her music today, really liked it. She is never one for the status quo and I like it that way. It’s not always comfortable to change, but Ms. Gagne does it with acute regularity, even if she is mired in Usher and Katy Perry. The latter has a new song and I have to admit it has a catchy back beat. Remarkable too, is the fact that her hour runs with the speed of a second hand, and I for one look at the clock wishing it would do the impossible and run backwards. The hour is precious and when she said that she could spin hours with us today, she meant it and I didn’t want to leave. The sugar plum fairies could have helped today but they were working for Pam Polestino and were administering oxygen to the faint of heart over in  her realm.  

I noticed Kristen that you didn’t say my name today I will suck it up but, I was half expecting you to welcome back the prodigal middle aged man.

Sexual healing. Well, there is pleasure in spinning just like sex, except we get to ‘do it’ longer in most cases. We sweat a lot and if you are having great sex you sweat too.  And, we get to the action in a breakaway just like going all out during sex and we get to the peak sensation just like sex as well when we get to ‘release’ the resistance on our red dial, and in the afterglow, instead of a cigarette we get to stretch all the muscles we used, just like in sex. Sex is a lot like spinning except we don’t have to cuddle afterwards.
