spin / second sole multisport team

Beautiful afternoons in May are just around the corner– don’t spend them getting dropped from group rides!

We’re at the half-way mark of the 8-class Indoor Cycling Series at Five Seasons– still plenty of time to get on board and get a head start on this summer’s riding.

What: Indoor Cycling Series
Where: Five Seasons Sports Club, Westlake: (map)
When: 7:30-9:30, Thursday nights, starting February 10th.  Arrive in plenty of time to set up!
Who’s invited? Everyone!
Why come? The classes are led by experienced cyclists and triathletes, and will focus on building endurance and power for triathlon and road riding.  But, anyone looking for a great long cardio workout is encouraged to attend!

Plus, everyone gets a free beer– yes, free beer– in the Five Seasons Cafe at the end of the class. Come join other local athletes for some post-workout socializing.  As we’ve noted before, free beer tastes JUST LIKE regular beer, but you don’t have to pay for it.  The cafe will be serving food from the menu.

More information and answers to frequent questions below the fold…

WHAT: Indoor cycling classes. Please bring your bike and a stationary trainer. (If you cannot, you may be able to use a spin bike on location, but this is not guaranteed— although there are many of them, the spinning bikes are first-come-first served, and Five Seasons members always have priority.)

WHERE: Five Seasons Sports Club, Westlake OH (28105 Clemens Rd., Westlake OH 44145:  map)

COST:
Five Seasons Members: Always free
Cleveland Triathlon Club: $7 per class or $45 for all eight classes.
Everyone Else: Still only $10 per class, or $65 for all eight classes.

With the entry fee you’ll get some towels to use during the class, have access to the locker room, and the Five Seasons bar and café. Join other area athletes for some post-ride relaxing and socializing.

COMMON QUESTIONS:
How do I sign up for the series?
— Just show up on the first night and we’ll take care of it then.  The first night is sometimes a little hectic…  consider leaving an extra few minutes.

I don’t have a stationary trainer… can I still attend?
— Yes. There’s a strong chance there will be enough spinning bikes available (we’ve never run out of them).  HOWEVER, the spinning bikes are first-come-first-served, and Five Seasons members will always have priority.

I’ve never done a class like this… what can I expect?
— This class will focus on technique, aerobic endurance, and fun. It will be taught by experienced road cyclists and triathletes who will bring more to the class than two hours of grinding!

Two hours? Are you guys nuts?
— Yeah.  I think so.  But it’s not like you’ll get left behind, so you might as well try it. This is the best cardio workout you’ll find until the weather warms up. It’s a nice mixture of intensity and technique work that will surely improve your times this summer, or at least shed some winter insulation!

I’m not a member of Five Seasons… can I still go to this class?
— Yes.

Free beer? Really?
— Yep. We’d love it if everyone could hang around afterwords for some socializing and networking. Five Seasons is an amazing facility and they’ve been very gracious sponsors of the team. Come hang out with the rest of the athletes in the class!
