RPM Class at West YMCA

[ew_perry]

This is not a normally scheduled class so it will be just members of the club. Should be a fun reason for us to get together and ride. Afterwords we can get some food and drink!!

Saturday December 13th @ 11:15
or
Thursday December 18th @ 5:30

This would be at the West YMCA there is room for 10 of us.

Let me know what day is best once I have a consensus I will schedule it.

Even if you are have no interest in signing up for a class, you should do it. Just think of it as a regular group ride that we have to do inside.

I would give the Saturday class a try.

[SpinStir]

I would try Saturday as well. Is there a class limit and/or cost associated with this? I'm assuming I don't have to be a member... Thanks,

[ew_perry]

There is no cost and it is limited to 10 people.

[Bexter]

I can't make it on that Saturday. Rats. Previous plans. If you schedule it for the evening date listed, HJ and I are in!

[Gunchie]

I'll give it a try. Saturday works for me. Do they have clipless pedals on the bikes or should I just wear sneakers?

[ew_perry]

Becky thanks for posting about Thursday working for you and John. I am sure that if we can get half a dozen unique individuals or better they would be happy to have both sessions.

The bikes are equipped with SPD pedals.

i will join the thursday night ride.

[Bexter]

Come on guys. We surely have enough people to fill two classes. This sounds like a BLAST! What a terrific opportunity to get together and check out a new winter scene. I promise that I won't whine (too much) about how tired I am.

[dru_b]

i gotta agree with bexter. i mean hell it's FREE..... sounds like it could be a hell of a workout if you let it. pony up ladies and gents, let's ride those machines.

[SweetSVT99]

What is the normal cost for these classes?

[ew_perry]

I believe the normal cost for these classes is about $75 for an 8 week course that meets once a week. If you are a YMCA member about half that. And also as a member you can get a punch card for $30 that lets you drop in to a class with an empty machine. Card is good for 10 classes.

Actually classes quite a bit less than first told! Members $28 NON $56

Over in the photo section I posted the cycling class schedule for the remainder of the year and next years first session. I recieved 10 day passes and cycling class passes to the YMCA.

I will distribute these as I see fit!!! Oh the POWER. :D

If we don't get enough people to fill the Thursday night ride I will be sure those that expressed interest in that time slot get a pass.

[Bexter]

Sounds like my mom is going to change her plans for Bak-a-thon Part 2 from Saturday to Sunday which means that John and I could take part in Saturday's spin class. I will know for sure tomorrow.

[SASS]

It sounds like fun and I am pretty sure I need the work out, since I have not been on my bike for a very long time.

[ew_perry]

I all ready had you down! With Steve coming the only excuse I was going to let you use was work!

[Gunchie]

My roadie buddy Paul is coming too. I will turn him into a mountain biker if it's the last thing I do!!!!

[SpinStir]

I'm in for sure right?

looking like the thursday night ride may not be? i have a bday party again this weekend so saturday still doesn't work. dang it. all the cool people will be there.......

still hangin in there for thursday night though

[Bexter]

Ew, my mom did reschedule the baking extravaganza from Saturday to Sunday, so John and I can make Saturday's RPM class if there is room. Please let me know. And, where is the West YMCA?

And, if you are still working to pull together the Thursday RPM class on the 18th and they will allow repeaters, John and I are interested in that too.

[ew_perry]

Sounds like we have a group to ride on Saturday Morning!!

Gunchie
Paul
SpinStir
Steve
Sass
Bexter
John
Myself
Gary Hayles(maybe)
Bruce Perry

Gary is a maybe, the last one is my Dad, he will come if we have room, and I am willing to skip to make room for another since I am going to join a class either way. So what I am trying to say is if anyone else is interested room can be made for two and maybe a third. So keep posting up.

Hey it's Tim, put me down for the thurs ride if it is still on

[ew_perry]

My dad had to cancel so there is at least one spot open again.

The West YMCA is attached to West High School, at the intersection of Fairmount and West Locust Street in Davenport.

[ew_perry]

FYI- The pool is open for swimming, both goofing off and laps, when our cycling class is over.

[SweetSVT99]

Man it's a good thing Filling Station had plenty of beer and wings to recover from todays class! Thanks for putting it together EW.
