SOCIAL FITNESS, CONTINUED FROM PG 13
Ten years ago Dahl
started the Hollyloft
Bike Team with a
handful of people.
Today the Team has
over 250 members.
“We are one big happy family,” Dahl said.
“When we started
we didn’t realize that
fitness would turn out
to be such a big part
of our social life. The
benefits are immeasurable.” Members
cover a wide range of
sizes, ages and abilities. “Some of us ride
in race mode and
some of us ride to get
ice cream.” He added
with a smile. “At the
end of a ride, we often
relax and enjoy each
other’s company.”
Dahl is also the
Wholesale Sales
Manager for Johnson Estate Wines. “If
we’ll be talking about
the social benefits of
fitness, we thought it
would be fun to start
that night,” Dahl added. “I’ll have samples
of our most popular
wines available for
tasting. It should be a
really fun evening!”
He said.
Gustafson will be on
hand to answer questions related to fitness
and share some of his
ideas to stay motivated. “To make fitness
a part of our lifestyle,
it needs to be fun,” he
said. “It’s can’t just be
about weight loss and
eating healthy.”
