Cycle City Spin

My husband is an earth-hugging hippie under all of his engineering-ness. So I wasn't surprised when he bought an indoor composter and put it in our garage. It's working great! I was surprised, however, how unpleasant the smell can be. Which means the garage is no longer my winter haven for spinning. That's OK, I'm not too bummed about it since spinning by yourself in the garage at night is not exactly the most enjoyable workout in the world.

After buying my Felt and keeping in touch with the guys up at Cycle City, I decided to drop in on their Wednesday night spin last night. I'm sure I'll spend some time in the garage, I'm just hoping not 3 times a week.

I'll be honest - I was kinda sand-bagging it last night. I'm trying to kick the last of this stupid sinus cold and I'm racing on Saturday, so I didn't want to go all out and pay for it dearly. But I had a blast. There were 17 people there total, good music and it was a good set. Actually, I was a little disappointed when we finished after an hour - I wanted to keep going! I think the one-legged drills were the most interesting for me - clearly something I can benefit from.

I'm hoping to make the Wednesday night a weekly thing and I'd like to make it to the occasional Monday night ride, too. It sure beats my (stinky) garage.

That sounds like a much better option than spinning in the garage!
