Folks
I hope you are all feeling recovered afer a tremendous session on the bikes last Thursday night at the Old Library Trust Healthy Living Centre.
For those of you who were not familiar with Stephen Webb the instructor, you can perhaps see now why I hold him in such such high esteem as a trainer. I thought his session last although murderously tough at times, was absolutely superb for the cyclist -informative & motivating. Full credit to you all for putting in 110% effort and taking yourselves well out of the comfort zone. People are what make these sessions enjoyable, the banter and craic before the start , the tough sesion work out (groans and all!), the motivational speeches by the instructor, the fullness of response from the participants, are all the ingredients that make these sessions enjoyable and empowering. A turbo trainer just doesn’t do that for me anyway. I have no doubt you all will be fighting fit come the start of March I for one am certainly looking forward to the seven weeks that lie ahead in your company.
A couple of minor points I would like to make:
o Feel free to rotate around the room on each visit.
o I noticed one or two people without water – Remember to always bring a bottle of water. These rooms can get really hot as you will appreciate last night.
o Remember to drink water afterwards too when you go home to avoid dehydration
o Lockers – the changing rooms unfortunately do not have lockers so feel free to bring your sports bag into the room.
o The facility have asked that each person clean their bike after use with the sanitation spray and towelling provided – thanks for adhering to this last night.
Finally, We now have all bikes FULLY BOOKED and paid for – thank you all. If for any reason you cannot make a session, drop me an email or text to let me know. I can then offer the bike to some folk on the standby list – I’m sure they’d appreciate the opportunity to do the odd class or two.
Thanks again for a tremendous turn out and see you all on Thursday night to do it all over again
