> Work with what works best for you. <

The trick is to know what is best. So many things seem hard when first doing them, but once learned, are better. So I keep reading every idea posted and hopefully find some that I'll pursue - plus watching out for warnings (such as the ankling thing).

That is my present plan. I won't do ankling - at least not more than what strikes me as being a natural part of the rotation. I'll be interested to see if by my next planned ride (saturday) if I have recovered from today's spinning effort. If I can recover with just one rest day, then it shouldn't be too long before I can start seeing if I can do it for longer periods.
