The Last One: 2018 Super Bowl Theme Ride 403
It’s “THE BIG GAME” eve, here’s a look back to my theme ride from 2018…
Inspiration: Game day in 1 week…ride for your team!

Other artists featured on the ride today: Of Mice & Men, Boston, The Killers, ELO, Muse, Hardwell, Queen, Kings of Leon, and Black Veil Brides…
Prepare to hit the hills…and sprints too. This is a good blend of strength and interval work!
ENJOY the Ride, the Grammy’s (tonight) and THE GAME (next Sunday)!

spINTENSITY: Keep it under control!
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!
With 2020 well underway…a flood of new, returning fitness-seekers are HIITing gyms, fitness studios and CYCLE STUDIOS everywhere. Many unaware of or uneducated about how to effectively manage the intensity of their fitness activity. I’ll review a few common tools and techniques for keeping it safe.
RPE: Rating of Perceived Exertion
The most basic technique available to all participants is the 10-point Borg RPE scale. Simply put, this is a non-scientific, self-assessment of how intensely someone is exerting themselves. This has been used as long as I can remember and breaks down as follows:
0 – Nothing at all
1 – Very light
2 – Light
3 – Moderate
4 – Somewhat heavy
5 – Heavy
6 – Heavier
7 – Very heavy
8 – Very, very heavy
9 – Approaching max effort
10 – Most intense & max effort

Us: Valentine’s Day Theme Ride 407
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!
