it's called mashing!

don't be nervous about the group ride... cuz not everyone spins (even though IMO they should! )

just relax.... ride your ride.. and most importantly.... HAVE FUN!

i can't give any pointers about how to be a better spinner... cuz for whatever reason i have been spinning from the beginning of my riding... of course... i also had hubby telling me to spin.... spin.... spin! best i can say is practice! eventually it will become habit!
