Spin Cycle 02/22/07

I can honestly say that this morning's class was one of the strongest, most rewarding classes I have taught in years. I'm not sure what made it different. I just felt like everyone was "on" and connecting with the music, with their bikes, with me, with themselves etc. You get the idea.
I had one student tell me that I was the best instructor that the club has. I was very thankful and flattered.

The music was a trubute to the 2007 Grammy Award nominees and winners. With the Dixie Chicks having such a strong night, I featured 3 songs from Taking the Long Way. I also stuck newcomer Corrine Bailey Rae on the ride. Please check her out. Her voice is out of this world.
