Didn't know I could do it

I just rode my trainer for one hour straight spinning at 90rpm's... I only started biking last spring, and have been really lazy about riding the trainer (or outdoors for that matter) all winter, so I had no idea if I could ride that long at a continuous cadence. I put on a Podrunner track at 180bpm and just went for it. It was actually fun... I read my new issue of Bicycling while at it.

remind me not to challenge YOU for a race.

Very nice! Doesn't it make you feel warm and fuzzy inside when you accomplish something you didn't think you could?

[Geonz]

How many times did you think you couldn't do it while you were doing it?

Is 90 rpm = 90 full revolutions or half? Oh I get it. 180 bpm = 90 rpm. that's 1.5 full revolutions per second, so on every beat one foot goes down. yeah.

try the pedalradio.com podcasts. I tried my first one last night, was fun to have some new tunes.

Thanks folks! About halfway through I was getting really sweaty and tired, but I was armed with raisins which I guess helped. I mean, I've ridden up to 1.5 hours straight outside in the park, but it feels really different on the trainer and trying to keep a steady pace. I really have no idea if what I did would be considered much of an accomplishment by most people, but it felt like one to me!

Never checked out pedalradio before... headed there right now!
