On Tuesday nights over the non-daylight savings part of the year, aboc runs a spin class at the Blackburn Cycling Club clubrooms.  This isn't like a spin class at a gym, we do individualised and streamed programs for the riders that attend, and we provide dinner afterwards.  Running from 7pm 'til 8:30pm (9ish, including dinner) the classes are a way to do intensity training on a spin trainer in a social atmosphere, supervised by an aboc coach.  Typically there's four streams running each night, a sprinters stream aimed at those wanting to improve their sprint, which takes about 40 minutes, and three enduro streams, from an introductory C stream, intermediate B stream and very hard, high intensity A stream.  You can see our programs here.

Attendees bring their own bikes and spin trainers, aboc supplies the music, programs and a feed afterwards. 

The sessions cost $5 to attend, and $5 for dinner.  Drinks are available at club prices (cans of soft drink are $2 etc). These sessions are open to any aboc rider or prospective rider or Blackburn club member, but we request that you contact us to let us know you're coming so we can make sure we have sufficient food and know what to do for your program. Additionally you must hold some form of a current Cycling Australia licence (the same as for Race Skills).  A 'Ride' licence will suffice, which costs $55 for 2009. Dinner consists usually of a pasta and a meat and tomato sauce with mushrooms, and a vegetarian tomato sauce if we know any vegetarians are attending.

Attendance is capped at 32 riders, with preference being to Blackburn members, then aboc coached riders.
