  2. As an indoor/outdoor cyclist for decades and most recently a newbie indoor instructor at age 79 I have found your website to be right on. The tips, music, etc. is super. I am also using Jennifers e-text Make It Real as a bible of sorts. Its great along with other references I have obtained. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this great organization and I look forward to seeing what yet is to come
