However, there's a feeling of great satisfaction when the pain is over and you are able to see straight again.

You had me laughing at work today. Your write up made me feel like I was right there watching. I'm glad you lasted the hour without fainting or hurling. Way to represent! The article reminded me how my guts were screaming to hurl at the fully loop with RL and the gang couple of weeks ago. But, like you say...Good times, good times. Jeremy!

They designed to make it feel more like a real bike. Go here to see video of it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5PlBFChPMo One more thing - I thought this spin bike was pretty cool.

(Hope you stick with it!!!) I think spin classes are a huge benefit to mountain bikers. I just read an interesting article about spin instructors and how many of them do not even ride bikes at all. There are instructors that actually ride bikes that will give you a totally different workout and gear the workout towards helping benefit you out on the trail. Pretty good article here- http://www.adventurecorps.com/indoorcycle/wallack.html I actually just took advantage of an awesome opportunity to buy two identical spin bikes for $300 for the pair!! They are in almost perfect condition. Here's a link to the kind I got - http://www.gymcor.com/scicprincybi.html Cool to see that you got to try out a spin class. (Hope you stick with it!!!)
