Hey trainer folk-

I am using Jorge's workouts for 2 spin classes that I teach each week. I usually pick tunes that work with the ride planned eg-time trials this week will have all songs with a cadence of 90-100 rpm, I slow things down a little for recovery intervals and occasionally use an 80 rpm with a higher gear to mix things up.  Is there any interest in my posting the playlists and rpm numbers?  My music usually runs the gamut from Tom Petty to NIN to Bob Marley to AfroCelt Sound System. I could post them here or on my blog. Let me know if there is any interest.

Kathy, I would love for you to share your playlist.  I need something besides the darn TV to keep me pedaling sometimes.

Hahaha...since I work a night shift, I like training in the morning.  Today however I got stuck working the day shift until 6 PM tonite, so I'll need to ride this evening.  I will not be a happy camper starting off the month.  And tomorrow I have jury duty so it'll be a night ride again.  Things will turn around on Wednesday!

Yeah, that works too!  One of the reasons why I decided on a time goal instead of mileage, so that trainers and spin bikes can be used.  I'll get you on the list this evening!

I was about to go downstairs and get my a$$ on the trainer, and decided to look for a challenge, and I saw this.  Put me in too, Max.  Thanks for organizing!!

Great...got everyone in!  Unfortunately we lost one as Spokes had to drop out due to PT and knee issues, so better that he takes care of himself and recovers rather than beat the knee to death this month!

Here's an updated list of everyone on board in case anyone wants to copy it for inspiring others!  I need to get ziggyrottie to open his/her training log so I can provide a link for it, and track the hours.

OK, I'm off to ride my trainer, maybe play Yanni and full blast and scare the neighbor's dog half to death.  OK sure, laugh all you want at my music choices, this will be a fun month!

Thank you, thank you to all and to Max for thinkin up this challenge! Today was a trying day and after reading your posts...........I got my A*% on the trainer for a 1 hour ride. Wouldn't have done with out you all! I'd still be sitting on the couch eating HoHo's. I took a mental note of my starting weight but for now, that will be between me and Tanita.......lol!

Cheers!

I plan on doing Jorge's test tomorrow in the wee hours of the morning.  We'll see how that goes
