JoyRide Cycling Studio's Shop and Spin

Burn off extra holiday party calories and then check off your holiday shopping list at the second annual “Shop & Spin” on Thursday, December 6 at JoyRide Cycling Studio.  The festive indoor cycling class, taught by the always-enthusiastic Mo Prester, will kick off at 6:30 pm.  From 7 to 10 p.m., JoyRide will host a holiday shopping boutique, featuring seven vendors from Fairfield County and New York.  JoyRide will donate a portion of the proceeds to Project Return in Westport.

Melissa Gladstone (Weston, Conn.) will sell one-of-a-kind jewelry from her line, Designs by Melissa; Erin Berk and Corri Neckritz (both Westport, Conn.) will offer fun kids’ clothing from their new store, Groove; Susan Kantor (Westport, Conn.) will show custom menswear from J. Hilburn; Maxine Wilson (Commack, N.Y.) will offer women’s clothing; Meryl Roesch (Plainview, N.Y.) will feature sunglasses and accessories; Aimee Rein (Westport, Conn.) will demonstrate anti-aging skincare and neutraceuticals from NuSkin; and Tulah Jems designers Sally Siegel and Ronit Tarshis (both Westport, Conn.) will showcase their unique collection of pave diamond jewelry. BMW of Bridgeport will also raffle off a Kindle. 

JoyRide will donate a portion of the proceeds to Project Return in Westport, which provides a safe, structured, and nurturing environment for adolescent girls and young women in crisis.  Their mission is to help these women develop “self-esteem, resiliency, respect and responsibility, effective communication skills, and critical thinking.” For more information on Project Return, please visit their web site: http://www.projectreturnct.org

"This time of year is so busy, so we wanted to help our riders take time for themselves, as well as help them check off their holiday shopping list.  We figured why not combine a calorie-torching indoor cycling class with some shopping for an important cause?” said Debbie Katz (Westport, Conn.), co-owner of JoyRide. “Project Return is an exceptional organization, and we want to be able to help them create strong, nurturing environments for young women in need.”  
Spots fill up quickly, so riders should reserve their bikes early, online.  First-time JoyRiders are invited to take their first class for free; each subsequent class is $26.  Discounted packaged are also available.  Shoppers are also welcome to attend the boutique without taking the indoor cycling class.  Shopping admission is free. For more information and reservations, please visit JoyRide’s web site at joyridestudio.com.
