[quote=Blogstar][quote=meadandale][quote=Blogstar][quote=spdrun]Spin class … bleeeeeech. I’d rather do the real thing, meaning an actually bike on roads or trails.[/quote]
Sure on the road where you can coast. No coasting on these spin bikes.
I agree that it is boring….and not at all necessary….I have taken the one hour class exactly once. I went 30 miles.[/quote]
No way you did 30 miles in an hour…
You can coast, you just let the flywheel pull your legs around.
As a roadie who logs about 200 miles/week and has done spin classes I can tell you that the classes are hard but they are not like riding a real bike and the class does little to get you in shape for real riding. But they are a nice diversion in the winter when the weather is bad and the days are short and it is hard to get out on a real bike.[/quote]
There’s no way you do 200 miles a week.[/quote]
I’m sure this is trolling…but I typically ride 6 days/wk. 30-35 miles for 4 of those and then 40-50 mile rides on sat/sun.
