Hi,

Just started a spinning class at the Y. From the looks of the clothes folks were wearing, lot of cyclists in there. Mostly men, which in my experience is unusual for an exercise class. It was quite a work out, especially the intervals and the killer "hills."

Do many of you spin to help stay in/get in shape when you can't ride as frequently as you'd like? It was kind of nice "riding" in the wee, dark hours of the morning without having to worry about visibility or keeping warm. And I enjoyed the comraderie of the group. And the music to keep me motivated. Or do trainers provide most of the same benefits, but in the comfort of home?
