Spinning Nation Fundraiser

Aside to our indoor cycle enthusiasts: Set aside June 28th for SpinningNation, a nationwide spinning event, a huge charitable fundraiser to be held at hundreds of locations around the States.

Anyone who’s participated in a large-group charitable event will tell you it’s not the instructor or leader who creates the energy; it’s the purpose and the participants. The energy is multiplied a hundred-fold when it’s a nationwide  effort such as this one. When you know thousands are beside you, the sound is deafening.

Check it out, and if your local club isn’t enlisted yet, there’s still time to make it happen.
