Suggestions - organising a spinathon

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

As a "cyclist" I have been tasked with helping to organise a spinathon at work to raise come money for charity.  

 

There are 12 Technogym spinning bikes available.  The basic plan is to have 12 teams of maybe 6 people riding and we want to raise money.  We were thinking along the lines of cycling 45 minutes per person (ie 4.5 hours total) but nothing is fixed at present.  

 

Having some kind of competitive element to the event would be great as it makes things more exciting.  However, the Technogym bikes don't have any kind of wattage measurement (Watt bikes would be great!), and the resistance dial cannot be calibrated to be the same on every bike (plus even if we could, policing it will be a pain and I don't want to have a referee wandering around!)  So no idea how to ensure that we are racing like for like.  

 

Has anyone got suggestions about how to arrange a fun, challenging spinathon that accomodates fit and fat and raises money.  

Thanks!

Where is this?

Do you mean where is the spinathon taking place?  Auckland Park in Johannesburg.

Just make it a distance challenge, guys can adjust resistance as they see fit. Proper high cadence spinning!

But how do you measure distance?  There is no speedometer!
