SaintViper's Journal, 24 January 2012

Tried a spin class last night. Haven't been on the bike in a while but it seemed to go pretty well.

The instructor seemed to be the type where they know just enough to make them dangerous, but think they know a lot. She asked if I had ever done a spin class. Since I've only ever done one before and that was years ago, I said no. I wasn't expecting her to adjust the seat height for me. As soon as I got on I knew it was too low yet she insisted it needed to be even lower. She said I would hurt my knees if I set it too high. I guess I should have explained that I was a cyclist but hadn't done spinning classes. Once she moved on I reset the seat height properly and was fine.

They have some nice spinning bikes there. Was a little difficult to get used to the fixed gear (no coasting). It makes transitions from standing to sitting and back a little tricky. By the end of the class I was getting the hang of it. Will have to take my mtb shoes for the next class as cycling with running shoes and toe clips really sucks.

and to think I'm just finally getting comfortable enough with rollers to watch a movie and be in the aerobars without wiping out.....

That's brave. I suppose rollers feel a lot more realistic than a fixed trainer.

they certainly keep you "in the moment". I mix it up. Spend some time on both the trainer and the rollers. Rollers tell you when you get tired and your form is falling apart...it's always a good idea to get off before the wheels come off so to speak.
