Spinstoppable

As the new year dawns, I am undertaking a number of new personal and professional projects. I will no longer be posting on Power 10 Spinning / spinningmixes.wordpress.com, but encourage you to continue browsing the archives made-up of 39 hour-long workouts and music mixes. There are some great and fun routines buried on this main page, so be sure to scroll down and click through more than just the newest routines.

It’s been a wonderful ride these last few years and I am incredibly grateful to everyone who stumbled across this site, bookmarked it and shared it with your friends, sent me testimonials and playlists, and emailed me with suggestions for how to improve the site or to share your addiction to spinning and spandex.

I started this blog simply as a way to share with my gym members the music and workouts of our indoor cycling classes, and in posting a new mix (roughly) every month since April 2007, I’ve been fortunate to have made and met some wonderful new friends from across the globe. Thank you for reading and reaching out.

As this blog is indefinitely suspended—I reserve the right to exercise the “Brett Favre option” and “un-retire” from posting new spinning workouts at any moment—I want to give a shout-out to some of the people and sites that inspired me ride and write. These are some of the best and my most favorite spinning blogs on the web:

• SpinDJ by Gabriela
• Spinning Music by Cynthia
• Leave It on the Bike by Jen
• SpinCycles by Darcy
• The Sufferfest by David McQuillen
• Move Me With Music by Jenn Karmazin

For more ideas, be sure to check out David McQuillen’s “The Sufferfest”, where he has assembled a fantastic list of indoor cycling resources that includes links to spinning-related podcasts, videos and DVDs, websites with choreographed workouts and music playlists, social training sites, and general riding information. A new Spinning Community Site is also being built by Mad Dogg Athletics, which current or aspirational instructors may find useful.

Feel free to leave a comment, send me an email at jasonatwood [at] gmail [dot] com, or check-out my regular blog, which I will continue to update, at playthink.wordpress.com. I will be offline through most of January, but will be sure to respond when I have Internet access.

Ride like the wind!
