Double Tripp Part: Unknown

A near packed house on Tripper Tuesday made the shortened week feel like Friday and when I got that call at 7:23 I knew someone wanted me in both versions of the morning show. And so I felt compelled to do my double dip of Tripp sending me in caloric deficit for the big feast happening at my sisters house two days hence.  When ever I take two classes I try to hold back but the magic man moves my pedal stroke into my autonomic unconscious and my alien spin gene takes command. 

Our mop top crusader of good deeds was handing out green wristbands for victims on the south shore and Hurricane Sandy. Always the humanitarian whether he’s fighting for the hungry, for cancer victims and now the victims of Mother Nature. I think one day we will see Mr. Doherty immortalized in bronze in his iconic pose of outstretched arms looking to the heavens for divine guidance.  Tripp Doherty; you gotta love him, and I do.  

My New Old Friend

We have a potential new member in our midst his name is Gregory. A long lost friend from half a lifetime ago took his 1st spin class at EQ on Tripper Tuesday.  Greg has never taken a spin class before let alone a class in-group exercises so for him it was a new experience. By days end Greg told me that he felt more energetic the whole day and it made him feel good and it made me feel even better. 

 I told Tripp tonight when a new member arrives in the Lavender Palace they are the most important person in the studio. Kudos to my friend Mr. Doherty because he made him feel more than welcome. Greg to his credit showed some enthusiasm as well and I think he will be back. 

Tripper Tuesday is a fixture in my spin life and yesterday the Trippster showed his authenticity yet again.   

A Tripp and a Half

After two days off from spin I was itching to get back aboard my Schwinn and since it was Tripper Tuesday I had to get a little extra dose and I snuck in to the 8:30 late. I spied with a little help from my friends an open bike in the 4th row so I got a half hour taste of the packed Lavender Palace before I took my regular spot in the 9:45.  Energized and high as always Tripp had us amped and considering the lack of watts these past 8 days we all needed to plug in to Mr. Effervescence.

We are fortunate that we can get a little diversion to the Human Tragedy that we are witnessing all around us even if its just for a Tripp and a half.
