Winter Training
Yeah yeah yeah, I know it’s summer right now. But, what comes with summer are the high energy songs of the year; the ones that last all through the winter and jam on your ipod when you’re on the treadmill dreaming of the sun, sand and outdoor workouts.
I like my bike a lot, that’s no secret, but I hate riding the trainer and looking out the window at nothing. A couple years ago I devised a way to pass the time and get some killer workouts on the bike trainer.
Other than my love for my bike, I love loud, high energy music, clubs with flashing lights, and people that want to rock out with me. So, I started combining these two loves into one. Why can’t I shut off all the lights in my family room and blast Cascada with a glow stick spinning on my rear wheel? Why can’t I have some friends over to join me on their trainers too?

You may ask, “why not just go to spin class?” Spin class blows. The bikes’ geometry is closer to a Huffy tricycle than a real bike. And who wants to pretend riding up a hill? And if I were to ride up a hill, I sure as hell would change gears so that my RPM’s were above 15. And seriously, most of the time the teachers don’t know a damn thing about riding a real bike.
I’ll be moving in the next month or two, but part of my needs in a new place will be an area I can set up half a dozen trainers and just rip it with friends. I’m thinking a couple nights per week for an hour, hour and a half. I promise awesome music and real cycling workouts that will tear your legs off. If you have a bike, a trainer, and are interested let me know; email, twitter, or commenting here. Here’s a quick sampling of tunes to come:
Spiderwebs – No Doubt
Callabria – Enur and Natasja
Here in Your Bedroom – Goldfinger
What Hurts the Most – Cascada
You Are My Diamond – Tiesto
