the next session opens up on oct 26. chris dale, justin meyer, luke from faster (who used to ride on austrailia's velo team) and myself can all attest to how fun indoor cycling is. chris has more pull than me so maybe if we can get enough newbies they will give us our own hour or at least an hour for us all to try it out. if not, i would be willing to do an into or intermediate class with someone who want to give it a whirl.
the bikes:
-fixed gear, no free spin. once you locked in, your on for the ride
-no brakes, like speedway without the motor :twisted:
benefits:
-bicycles are great cross training for roadracing, and velo racing is typically interval training
-help keep your eyes up to speed. you can easily get over 30mph and the turns are 45 degrees and very short
-good elbow to elbow racing
-fun, cause racin' is racin'
-teaches you how much camber changes to the track effect speed
-cheap. usually an entire 6 week session is only $80 bucks and all you have to bring is a helmet, and i stongly suggest pedal and shoes. bikes are included in your rental
-your wife or girl can do it with you. my wife is WAY faster than me and i used to be a 100m sprinter in high school
-the importance of drafting
-the importance of being smooth,
-and i'm sure a few others i can't think of just yet
