    Some of the guys who breathe hard hard exhale so moisture comes out. I try never to sit near those guys, I'm a firm believer in keeping bodily fluids to myself. That and the head shaking, what is up with that?

    I love the chatting women going on about who only knows what only to be told in class that in whatever stage we're in that we shouldn't be able to carry on a conversation. I don't get it...if you don't want to take the class, just go sit on a bike in the gym and talk. It's not that difficult.

    Today's instructor was heinous. I'm not even sure he taught. He was going on and on about his cycling prowess and had the the majority of the class enthralled. He rides on the street. He likes to secretly race people. He adjusts himself when he comes up to red lights ().

    The best thing was when one of the older people in class asked him how far he can go in an hour. He said he can actually do TEN MILES!!! Everyone let out this "oh, wow". I don't really want to judge but, er, I'm judging. I'm also not going back to this guy.

    True. Though you have to kind of feel sorry for him. Did you know that he has difficulty because his bike doesn't have numbers when he shifts? He acted like that was a new-fangled and special thing and everyone seemed impressed that there are times he doesn't know what gear he is in.

    I really had to keep quiet. He's a special fellow. Or then again maybe I was just cranky, who knows.

    I think we were supposed to be doing sprints but I never heard any direction from him whatsoever. He kept talking about keeping yourself at the "edge".

    Maybe they shake their heads because they have ear infections? My dog does that sometimes.
    To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.
