Spinning in Hell

At last nights spin class, the last for the season, as the Evil one doesn't think that we are that important any longer to go into the summer,it was like someone gave, Evil, a new Porsche. The last of the new bikes, that we are testing, came in and it is her favorite. I have never seen anybody so happy and giddy about a spin bike. She was hopping up and down and laughing and dancing (like Elaine on Seinfeld), doing cart wheels, hand stands and some kind of chant that I could not figure out what kind of language it was in, some ancient tongue,I suppose. Well, I mean she was happy, know what I mean. Well any who, we are all suppose to ride all three of the bikes and then rate them to see which bike we all like the most. I can just imagine not picking the ERSG's choice. She would hate us all forever and probably make every class that she ran, more of a living hell then they are already.

Speaking of hell, last night class comes to mind. It was Evils last Tuesday night class till the fall, and she wanted to make it a memorable one. She busted our proverbial balls. I guess with the new bike and the last night class, made her go for it, because she went for it. Lots of of long up hills and then loads of downhill spinning at breakneck speeds. And it was only, I would say, about 1 hour and twenty minutes. And the topper for the whole night was that the Y had not turned the air conditioning on as of yet, and the room, because the temperature outside was in the high 80's today, was hotter that Evils dungeon in the middle of summer. I mean it was hot. Everyone, after the class, was soaking wet and exhausted. And then there was the high priestess of spin up there on her new ride happy as a clam. Oh there will be hell to pay if we all don't pick the Evil ones choice. I have not rode on Evils bike, but I am picking it number one. Did you hear that Evil, number one! And if anyone else is thinking about the other bikes as a choice, may Jebus have mercy on you soul.

I have been looking forward to your write up of this class ever since I noticed ERSG saying how much she enjoyed it.

I was not dissapointed.

What does Mr Snootles ride at his club. This was a Star Trak NXT...Sweet! We are also looking at the Keiser and the LeMond.

I rode the Star Trak today and I am sorry to say that I like the Keiser better. Please don't hurt me.

You guys should just pick whatever bike you want. I like a spin bike that feels like a real road bike and puts the body in position close to that which a cyclist rides in (on the hoods or drops). I like the resistance to feel like I am riding on a real "road" and when I climb it feels similar to an actual hill. I like the geometry to be similar to a road bike and the adjustments easy to make for all body types tall and small. I want to teach cycling on a bike not an exercise machine.

That RealRyder looks very cool. It has a realistic handlebar height and goes aero too!

I've always thought Elaine was pretty hot.

Willie Y said...

Yea Evil's a looker too, but I wouldn't tell her to her face.

ERSG said...

Oh Willie, Don't EVEN TRY to get get on my good side. After this morning's blog comments and what I saw on that clip board this afternoon, I've written you off for good. I was beside myself for the better part of the day, thank you...

Like I said before pick the one you like, just don't play me for a fool. It really PMO...

BTW Willie, you are still the spinniest spinner in the land of spin- and a dear friend...even though I'm mad at you... I'll just have to find room in my cold heart to try to forgive you, some how, some way, someday...

Evil Amy,

I had to check at the gym this morning during Mad Dog's class because I had no idea.

We use the Star Trac bikes. They have "SPINNER" written along the sides which I at first took to be the brand name (thinking it was quite lame).

I'm a member of Finance First so can go to any of their gyms in Australia. The bikes do vary from club to club but the better ones look like the RealRyders - except you stay bolt uprighgt.

This swaying from side to side business looks very cool but I suspect would make me seasick!
