Breathless: The Ride
with Kristen Gagne
8:30a (60m) Wdbry 

What does it feel like when you get this notification on your computer screen or your 4G phone? It feels good doesn’t it?  

I have sign up pretty much mastered now and if I am ‘Johnny’ on the spot I get into the coveted KSC. More than ever now I need Kristen’s guidance in achieving my goal, which is to burn fat. Today in The Blue Sapphire’s class I felt more in control of my pedal stroke and I am starting to master that red dial.  Carolyn said today that the red wheel between our legs is the key to burning more calories.  I have observed that my speed has picked up considerably on the flats and it’s as if my leg speed from my sprinting days is returning. My fast twitch muscles are getting fired up once again. 

Sunday’s with Carolyn or The Blue Sapphire, which I have nicknamed her, was another full house but the riders are fewer in number that I know from the weekday sessions.  Yes Cindy, Ivy and Gloria were there but for the most part they are strangers to me and I love spinning with people I don’t know because by rides end, they will know that that old bald headed guy was shouting at them to give “More”.  I love that position in the middle of the class because I feel like the nuclear reactor that gives a booster shot of electricity that the CS seems to inject me with every time I climb aboard my Schwinn. 

Carolyn was requested by Andy (Oh Andy) to play Sweet Caroline. You could see that The Blue Sapphire is a little hesitant to play a song that Neil Diamond wrote with her in mind because this woman’s energy has no boundaries. We love that song Carolyn it was a fitting end to an energetic ride as only you can deliver.

  2. Some people still call me Johnny. I almost can't believe that. Tripp calls me Jackie. I guess I still have some youth in me.
