Yeah, it was pretty generous,,but I can do mid 20’s in a hour on the regular stationary training bike (lifecycle) with no class to help (though I usually do a half hour). Then I go lift girly weights and chat it up.
I have ridden on the road but won’t do it since my kids came along.
Seriously, are you that afraid? I used to go biking with my parents and sister along the coast road that goes through all the beach towns in central NJ. (Pretty similar to the stretch of 101 that goes from O’side to La Jolla, a bit narrower in places.)
Quite a bit of fun for a 8 year old, though I remember being terrified that they’d open the drawbridge while we were riding across it!
