    I wonder if it includes rest stops.

    hmmm ... for the full century ride effect, one could set up a "rest stop" table with mini pb&j sandwiches and banana halves & circus animal cookies & watered-down gatorade. And make your bathroom really scuzzy and forget to leave out the tp.

    Ha! Perfect. Also, need a LONG line in front of the scuzzy bathroom.

    Am now contemplating Aero Base V and how to cut it up because I ain't gonna do it all at once just yet.

    Andrea, that WAS pretty funny.

    Coach Troy and I need to have a little talk about music.

    So my first observation is...maybe I should try Aero Base V on a day when I haven't just finished the Spinervals 1.0 DVD.

    I have a question for the Aero Base V users---I will NOT be dong this whole 2 hours, not for a long time. I'll start with doing three or four sections at once. Does it matter how I chop it up--which sections I do? I did look at them all so I have some idea of what they involve. Would any three or four sections do? Thanks.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think it matters. Just make sure to warm up beforehand & cool down afterwards.

    The most I've done so far is the first five workouts which took about 1 hr 30 minutes. In general I only manage to get in the first three workouts which take about 1 hr 15 minutes or so. But as far as I can tell, it's all good.

    I was actually planning to try to do the whole thing today, half in the morning and half in the evening, but I woke up achey and headachey and have felt that way all day. I think I might be coming down with the creeping crud - just in time for the long-awaited 3 day Presidents Day/Tour of California weekend. lovely.

    I agree with Jo. I don't think there's any real science to it. Do what works.

    I did that one IN ITS ENTIRETY one time last year. It's actually not that bad if you put on some good tunes of your own.

    Jo, there are several rest stops---3 minutes each but you can lengthen them.

    If the weather doesn't let up and give me safe pavement, I might have to gut that out again to prepare for the Wild Goose Chase.
