Tour de Yorkshire Spinners


Did the Tour de Yorkshire inspire you?

Have you watched the Tour de Yorkshire? May be on TV? Or Face Book?

Or were you a hardy soul lining the route?

At our Spinning studio we were encouraged to cycle stage three. A distance of 198km. Each Spinning class counted for 8.25km. The distance could be done in teams and the prize was a year’s free membership (How do you split that between a team of five?).  So the result, some people doing back to back classes- bike blocking(?), others taking to the road.  But whether you went for the indoor challenge or the outdoor one there is no doubting the interest that the Tour de Yorkshire has raised.

The question is: how can we sustain the interest in either Spinning or outdoor cycling?   Especially among young people who have their whole lives ahead of them.  What can we say to anyone thinking of taking up a sport?  Train for it, keep going and above all enjoy it (at least when you have done it!).
