Subject: Log spin classes as such, or log the miles as a ride?

Does everyone log their spin classes under sports, or does anyone enter the time and mileage they do instead?

I'm substituting a one hour spin class for one of my rides each week, it's probably only 50 minutes of actual time on the bike, and this past week for instance I rode 17 miles during that time.  I feel that by not entering the mileage I'm not able to get an accurate assessment of my weekly progress at a quick glance.

Or should I enter the spin class, then enter the miles as well but without a time, so my actual active time remains the same but I'm giving myself credit for the miles?

Thanks!

I enter it as a spin class. Time spent on MY bike I enter as a ride whether it is on the trainer or on the road.

However if I go to a spin class, I enter the time (but not distance) in the Bike section.  I view this a similar to using the trainer or the treadmill to workout indoors.

Ditto for me...it's kinda like an interval workout on the trainer.  Time entered, HR info uploaded under bike section.  No distance because it's kinda irrelevant.
