My IEZ Valentines Day Ride



I don't normally do "theme" rides but was in the mood for giving gifts and having fun.  The ride will consist of 5 loops, I changed up the loops here and there but basically kept each loop the same.  At the end of the ride I'm giving out three prizes, a towel, bottle, and socks.  If they ride really hard I might reward them with one piece of chocolate. :) They better work those loops good! 

Loops

:30 Fast Flat-moderate gear

1:00 STC-Hard-Push

1:00 Dowhill-“descend”-take a little load off-increase cadence

:30 Fast Flat moderate gear

1:30 STC-Hard-Push

Themed workouts are a nice change. And prizes will make it even more interesting -- very creative!

I'm going to be giving out prizes for my 2-hour ride before Spring Break.... This loop profile is good. I may steal it for MY Valentine's Day ride! Hehe. I'll let you know if I use it!

Don't normally do theme rides but I think I'll do one tomorrow. I'm calling it "LOVE to Spin" and I'm using a bunch of songs like you used. Great idea and thanks for sharing!

Hey there-

As a cyclist and a blogger, you may be interested in Global Ride virtual cycling DVDs. This is sort of a shameless communication attempt, but bloggers like you have been the source of nearly all our publicity since our company formed around two months ago.

We create our DVDs with a mission to bring together the worlds of indoor and outdoor cycling - providing indoor cyclists with motivation to get outside and do the real thing, and convincing outdoor cyclists that indoor cycling can provide suitable training.

We have tried to create the best virtual cycling training product out there. You can take a look at it at www.globalride.net - and if you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it.

Keep up the good work with the blog.
