Sunday Stonehouse Ride

Good turnout today for a Sunday ride out of Stonehouse Country Club parking lot. Today's ride was a bit on the shorter side at just over 2 hours. Intensity wasn't too bad but the last hill always is considered as the sprint zone.

About an hour or so after returning home my wife talked me into an hour spin class at Ironbound gym. The spin class was quite a bit harder than I expected as I already had tired muscles from today's and yesterday's rides. I've never been to a spin class before and it is almost totally different than riding on the road. On the road, especially this time of year, you're doing certainly extended efforts at a given power whereas in the spon class we were essentially doing very short intervals, and it was generally uncomfortable. I do see a benefit, though, as it requires nearly instant recovery as you must react to drastic changes in what you're doing.

Here are a few pics from today's ride:
