Come, relax and enjoy the ride!

I am excited to open my own cycling studio, Sol Pedal. To be doing what I love and have loved for the past 6 years is a blessing. Many of you have ridden many miles with me, so come back and lets travel together. Time flies as we cycle to an eclectic mix of music. I created the studio to be funky and fun, a place where you feel surrounded by happy, healthy energy.



So join the Ride. Its the only hour of your day that you can completely get away. We sweat, sing along, push each other and have a blast. Sure it's exercise, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun! After all, life is what you make it!

"Stretching out your back helps reduce back pain, but it can work against you if you do it first thing in the morning. 'At night when you sleep, the discs in your spine gain water,' says Ted Dreisinger, PhD, FACSM, president of Therapy Advisors, San Diego, CA. This adds pressure on your discs when you first wake up, which causes more stress to them when you bend forward or bend backward.

Do this instead: Before you stretch in the morning, take 10 minutes to with your usual routine: drink coffee, wash your face and brush your teeth. After that, perform a simple stretch: put your hands on the top of your buttocks (palms to skin), as if you were putting your hands in your back pockets, then lean back, looking up and holding for about three seconds. Repeat three to four times."

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”" ~ Mark Twain

Be bold, be bold, and everywhere be bold. ~ Herbert Spencer


We have set points, comfort zones that, most of us, for our whole lives don't leave. Don't stay in your comfort zone because it is safe - if you want something more, you have to step out to discover what's on the other side.

"In her new book, 'Poser: My Life in Twenty-three Yoga Poses,' Claire Dederer uncovers a topic that most women are afraid to admit: We are deeply, profoundly imperfect. And yet, we are a generation of mothers, wives, friends and daughters who are consumed with trying to do everything right. For Dederer, this pursuit of perfection started with the birth of her first child -- whose life began with a serious condition that resulted in months of quarantine -- and a lifelong bargaining promise to 'do everything perfectly and avert disaster.'" article written by Deb Dunham

"Imagine that the universe is a great spinning engine. You want to stay near the core of the thing - right in the hub of the wheel - not out at the edges where all the wild whirling takes place, where you can get frayed and crazy. The hub of calmness - that's your heart. That's where God lives within you. So stop looking for answers in the world. Just keep coming back to that center and you'll always find peace.'" ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

I realized that continuing to look good is not all that women like Tallulah (Bankhead) need to survive. Behind the carefully raised facade there is not just a desire to be able to do what you did when you were young, but a need for people still to want you to do it. As long as you are wanted, you can, and you do. You are still very much alive. ~ Frances Osborne for Vogue, Jan 2011

In Praise of Breathing Beginner's Mind Yoga Blog Yoga Journal:

"Who ever exhales completely? No one, is the answer. In our regular life, we exhale half way, leaving our lungs half-filled with stagnant, jammy air that would rather be outside mingling with the fresh air."

"To find the balance you want, this is what you must become. You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it's like you have 4 legs instead of 2. That way, you can stay in the world. But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead. That way, you will know God." ~ Eat, Pray, Love
