Spinning with your local club

Good for:  Getting your heart rate up and showing off how fit you are, motivation in cold winter months, alternative to having snow fall on your head whilst cycling outdoors on a roller

Not so good for:  Cycle technique, sweating like a pig

So I started doing spin classes with my local cycle club, Varde Cykelclub, this winter.  It is good fun, with a show-off opportunity of having your heart rate displayed on the big screen.  Being the ever competitive person, I have now managed to record up to 199 bpm heart rate, something I have never seen before in real, outdoor life.  Followed by pretending to be completely in control after, "199bpm?  No sweat, baby!".  Or something.....

But I also discovered that too much spinning = forget how to cycle a real bike. So I've agreed with myself once a week of spinning is ok.  Need to get on to a real bike the other 1-2 times per week.  :)
