It feels almost like I am creating a scrapbook of experiences with every ride. Songs, lyrics, emotions, imaginary places and inspiration are filed away in my spinning notebook.There is so much communicated to me in those pages because I remember how it all falls together even while I am on the bike , those unplanned moments that blow
you away. If you are a spinning instructor you know what I mean when you hurriedly put part of your playlist together hoping something works and boom it works better than you could have ever imagined. Often it is amazing how the lyrics fit the theme of the day whether it is about having a vision or dream or a goal or wanting to change and all the other coaching cues that we use. My scrapbook is not filled with pictures that anybody would understand but me but oooo are they sweet! Sometimes the ride is sweetened by who shows up for the
ride I have planned because it fits where they are in their life journey. So many of these joyful moments can not be replicated by any means in the another class even if you use exact same words, music, and profile. That is what makes spinning amazing to me. I often just want to bow down in the corner and thank God for His mercy that anybody would want to ride with me , want to hear what I have to say and be helped in any fashion and for all the unexplainable things that can happen in a class.
