Great job Miranda--you hit on some terrific points. One last energy zone, though, in addition to the spinning energy zones you named above: The Strength Energy Zone or SEZ.
Strength sessions are well-liked by my participants. The cadence parameters for a Strength training session is 60-80 RPMs (except for warmup and cool down of course). After warmup, your goal is to keep the HR in the range of 75-85% of your max. HR (that's high end aerobic--75-80%--to A.T. (Anerobic Threshold) or 85% of max. HR. These classes are particularly challenging because although you are climbing the entire time, you must coach your riders to gentle the HR back down to 75% while keeping enough resistance on the bike to keep their quads engaged (so in essence, you are recovering on a hill.)
