ok, so it's not really a ride but it will have to do. So I don't lose it completely over the winter
I've been doing spin classes a few days a week. I signed up for the endurance class (2 hours of
endurance work) and the first one was last. Its geared towards triathaletes and marathoners but I
thought, want the heck, long mtb rides count too...It was by invitation...
I'm a bit tired but not trashed like I thought I would be. I felt like a dork bring my camelbak with
me, but it sure made a lot more sense than having to get off the bike to trade out bottles.
I am riding with a HR monitor that Kamikaze #2 gifted me with: it's very interesting to see where
you are really at as compared to where you think you are at. I just wish I could figure out how to
turn the stupid alarm off.
Most entertaining part of the workout was the Village People's YMCA song.. hey after and hour and a
half of a spin bike you need *some* sort of entertainment...! YOU try doing Y-M-C-A with *your* arms
while standing and spinning -- I figured it would be a good balance exercise if nothing else. OK, so
some of the music choices left something to be desired: I am not a child of the 80's.
Hey if I have the leg up on the season when I take my bike out, I'm all for
it. I just try to take everything I can out of it and process it for later on, on the trail.
So it's a lame RR but it's better than nothing.
