It's February, soon it's Valentine's Day...how's your heart? Here's a heart themed / PSA post from 2020. If you have ride profile and playlist in mind, check out this post from 2018: https://fortherideinside.com/2018/02/11/heart-beat-here-406/ Have a SUPER (& GOLD MEDAL) Valentine's Weekend!
When you LOVE indoor cycling as much as I do, a great VALENTINE’S DAY RIDE is essential! And with that, a great opportunity to switch up the SPINlist and go for a Theme ride. US (Ride #407) from 2018 or CUPID SHUFFLE from 2013 (one of my first Theme rides) https://fortherideinside.com/2013/02/03/cupid-shuffle/ are more traditional picks. For ’22 I’m going in another direction for V-Day…https://fortherideinside.com/2022/02/06/v-day-521/
ENJOY THE RIDE…LOVE YA!
Inspiration: I picked up a class on the 14th…so here’s the Valentine’s Day theme ride. I found a good mix of current and classic tracks (a few from my last post)…this one just a little more sweet and spice! Check out the two tracks with Quavo, the Julia Michaels track from Fifty Shades Freed and the LIVE Big Love track!
Have a great day…tell someone you LOVE them!
