We were very fortunate to be invited by Wicked Smaht Zone to be a part of their group for a 45 minute Power Zone Endurance Matt Wilpers class.

Erika, Knute and Tara Pterodactyl traveled to NYC by car and train and they spared no details on their 30 hour trip. A train ride digester, Hanna and Mike Nye the Bagel guy, visited Time Square (probably never again) the entire Peloton experience and much more was shared during our car ride home. 

Thank you again to Josh Vernon, Wicked Smaht Zone, Matt Wilpers, Peloton and everyone else who made this trip wicked awesome!
