That's Fit

I'm stoked. Around 6:00 am Monday morning George Hood is expected to break the Guinness Book of World Records for consecutive hours cycling on a stationary-bike. He's attempting this 176+ hour feat close to my home, at the Heritage Group YMCA's Fry Family YMCA in Naperville, Illinois. Beyond seeking the World Record, Hood is raising thousands of dollars to support Y membership and programs for kids and families in need.

Last night I joined a Midnight Spin class to provide Hood a little energy boost. While I was working today, my husband and kids headed over to the Y to see Hood in person. The kids loved spinning alongside this Cycling Superman! I know my six-year-old son left amazed, he immediately announced upon arriving home that he was off to the backyard to seek a World Record by hanging 20 seconds on the monkey bars. He did nail the record, but it hasn't been confirmed by Guinness, yet.

You're probably not alone in wondering what kind of spin bike can deliver the high-tech durability and comfort required of a quest like Hood's. He's riding the bright yellow LeMond RevMaster, which sports nifty features such as a Kevlar belt, incredibly strong cranks, new loop handlebars to accommodate a variety of hand positions and an anatomically-designed comfy saddle. If you have $1,195.00, you can purchase a RevMaster for your own home spin gym and crank out a few personal spinning records.

Signing off until tomorrow morning, gotta hit the pillow as I'm heading over to the Y around 4:00 am Monday to spin and witness Hood make history. You can too -- watch live via Webcam!
