I’m kind of glad it didn’t occur to me until I got home that today was my last “Sidewalk Spin” class, because I would have cried about it during the cool down- guaranteed!
Oregon has tight mask mandates and Spinning is HARD to do with a mask because it’s so respiratory. So we brought our classes outside this pandemic-summer. It was so delightful, breathing the fresh air, watching the Downtown vibe ebb and flow around us. We even made a game of counting the boxes of Voodoo Doughnuts that walked by during each class. My bike was perched between to oak trees  and when the season turned to Fall I watched the trees gloriously change outfits and during one class in particular the leaves  floated down upon me every few minutes. I knew it was becoming sentimental. I knew I’d miss it. But above all I was acutely aware of how symbolic is was of our willingness to adapt, grow, innovate and make the very BEST of a difficult situation. We (class and community) were close- but we are closer now. 
And now it’s time for the next GREAT thing as we move the bikes to the sports bar for rainy, freezing days and the beautiful deck for sunny days. 
Thank you to all of you who showed up and made history in each others lives. I love you. 🚴🍂🍩🐲
And PS. Happy 👻 Halloween

Truly...in utter humility I lower my head and THANK the light and life force in each of you ~ the small-but-mighty, stick of dynamite 🧨 instructors ~ who chose to breathe your essence, energy and life into this new brand. You made it come ALIVE across the country (and a tiny bit beyond). My heart overflows with love and gratitude. And if we can do THIS together NOW (in a pandemic) then we can move mountains. 
Love,
Ellen

Thank you Downtown Athletic Club of Eugene for allowing me to be me. From rewriting the tattoo policy, lol, to supporting my creative endeavors with your trust.

All joking aside, inversions are great for the circulatory, lymphatic, digestive and musculoskeletal systems.
