KJay, of course spinning counts!!! You're pedaling, right?

I did some online research on calculating miles for spin classes and there seems to be a consensus that "the average 60 minute spin class with a cadence of 60-110rpm translates to 14-18 miles". There's also this:

I went to spin class this wed and joined BikeJournal later that night. Based on my own cadence and comparison to my outdoor rides, I estimated my miles conservatively at 17 (though, I bet we did more). I'm going to enter all my spin classes and judge my cadence as best I can - with entries that will stay in the 14-18 mile range. BikeJournal has a 'stationary bike' option on its list of bikes.

I've been short changing myself! I have been putting 10 miles down for my hour long spin classes. I will have to adjust tomorrow!

My hour-long commute on my bike is 13 miles, and that is on a very flat route and I coast part of the way (not pedaling the entire time). Given that info, I usually count my hour on the trainer for 14 or 15 miles (depending on how hard I work) and spin class counts as 16-17 miles.

I also added a "route" that says GYM and HOME-Trainer, so I can always tell where these "miles" were ridden.
