Our own little Tour de France

I just had to share what our gym is doing right now. The Spinning program is running a Tour de France promotion. Each days profile is based on the stage of the day, today we did the time trial. There are prizes (apparently the grand prize is some sort of trip somewhere) and we get points for riding each day, wearing a heartrate monitor, bringing friends in (the whole thing is actually a sales ploy, but we're playing along...lol), the guys get 20 points for shaving their legs (which we're protesting because there is nothing of equal point value for the women to do), points if you wear a helmet through the front door of the gym and during the class.

It was a crack-up to walk in and see this older fellow with his freshly shaved legs and his cycling helmet on this morning. Apparently he's last year's champion and he's defending his title! The class was absolutely packed this morning and they had to turn people away. Should be fun :)
