_________________________________________________

We will be spinning at Berkeley IronWorks from 4:15 to 5:45 pm.

Berkeley IronWorks is located at 800 Potter Street in Berkeley. It is located very close to the corner of Sixth Street and Ashby Avenue.


___________________Transportation To Berkeley IronWorks

We need parents who can pick up team members at 4:00 pm in front of the school. Team members will be driven to Ironworks and dropped off for a Spin class. Team members will then be picked up at 5:45 pm at the end of the class. I see three possible scenarios:

1) A parent can pick up at school and hang out in the gym while we are spinning. This same parent could then bring the children back to El Cerrito after the class. The parent would not be able to workout in the climbing area, but there is a nice waiting area with tables and WiFi. A parent could bring his/her computer and get some work done on the first floor while we are sweating on the second floor.

2) I do not know how many Spin bikes are in the gym this year, but there may be enough to invite the parent who drives to enter the Spin room and Spin with the team.

3) Two parents could split the pick-up and drop-off for their respective team members.

* Please call Jeremiah or Phil and let us know if you can drive. I anticipate needing space for about 15 kids.

______________________The Nuts and Crank Bolts of Spinning

The Spinning room is on the second floor of Berkeley IronWorks and is accessible from the outside. In other words, one does not need to enter the first floor of the gym in order to access the spin room. There is an outdoor staircase on the left side of the Berkeley Iron Works building. Walk up the staircase and enter the spinning room.

YOU WILL WEAR SPANDEX CYCLING SHORTS AND JERSEY WHEN AT SPIN CLASS. Arrive at IronWorks in your cycling clothing. You can have regular clothes on top of your cycling clothes, BUT DO NOT ARRIVE AT IRONWORKS EXPECTING TO USE THEIR CHANGING ROOMS. You can change at school before you leave. Change into your cycling clothes and put
street clothes on top if you like.

ALSO – BRING A BOTTLE FULL OF WATER WITH YOU.

Bring warm clothes to put on after spinning. I always bring a pair of
sweats to put on after a spin class. You will be SWEATY after class, and you will become cold very quickly if you exit the building into the cold, dark night covered in spandex and perspiration.


Berkeley IronWorks is kind to offer us this space for spinning.

I have had to work hard to keep our relationship with the gym strong. Always say please
and thank you when talking to an employee or member of the gym. Impress everyone you meet with your manners.

There is absolutely no cursing or foul language of any kind. I could not
be more serious about this. You are all amazing, outstanding, incredible, marvelous, wonderful young men and women – SO BE SURE TO ALWAYS ACT THIS WAY.

Call Jeremiah with any questions or concerns

AND PARENTS – PLEASE CALL ME OR PHIL IF YOU CAN DRIVE.

NEVER FORGET – YOU ARE AMAZING AND NEVER SMOKE!
