Ok, I'm sure there is something about this in the training archives but I am feeling lazy today.<br /><br />What is everyone's view on spinning classes? I currently do two a week and then try get on the road 3 times a week, but I find that I have a very tough time cycling in the mornings during the week (no club in my area to cycle with). My spinning classes offer a double length spinnathon on Thursday mornings and I'm thinking of replacing one of my road sessions (which generally gets missed in any case) with it. I find I can push harder while spinning and, being a bit of a partier, get a rush from the music etc that helps me push through the pain. What am I losing when I'm spinning versus riding solo on the bike? I still do a long ride on Sundays and am intending on fitting in a MTB ride in on Saturdays for some variation. This would take my total in a week of cycling to about 6 hours on the bike and 3 hours spinning.
