Oh Sarah, I must disagree. No Slackers I find harder because of all the Superspin sets. Maybe it's just because of the way I'm made, but I'd rather climb than SuperSpin.

Well, I haven't done them since last winter so I may have to test again. Yes, I don't like spins either but they're better than the 1-legged big gear stuff. Maybe I have the tapes mixed up. I just got the bike on the trainer again but now I'm running around dealing with Bubba's poison oak. We think it's gone systemic. He looks like someone poured boiling water on his legs and has chills.

A little birdie is telling me that the Rice Valley Tandem Rally is off the agenda for this weekend.

Oh, awful. Maybe time for a visit to the doc? Originally Posted by SadieKate

All this talk of Spinervals... maybe I'd better go do one this evening.

My husband has the same sort of systemic reaction to poison ivy every time he gets in it - time to take him to the hospital!!
Thanks for all the Spinerval info. I've been thinking of getting one of them - somehow the morning news doesn't make me want to ride as hard as I bet Coach Troy would...
