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!

We could have bought a small yacht with what we spent on our dog and all the things he destroyed. Then again, how many yachts wait by the door all day for your return?

Thank you for sharing your love of spin with us! I was kind of in a funk with my workout routine, but now I'm excited again! Thanks Leslie! Sol Pedal is good for the Soul!
I am so excited! I have had to go buy all new clothes! My legs have never been leaner and smaller - it has to be the spin classes I have been doing since Free February! I eat pretty healthy and I have not been doing anything. Thank you for opening SOl Pedal!
Since December, I have been spinning two days a week, running on my off days and have lost 25 pounds! Thank you, thank you! ~ Lisa
I am a runner and my knees have started hurting. Been spinning instead and they feel NEW again! Yeah! ~ Julie
