Just wanted to give another wonderful update:

Hubby & I went on a road ride yesterday with a buddy of his...hubby and buddy are uber-roadies (buddy in fact races seriously...until his latest most unfortunate crit crash)

All 3 of us are "getting back on the bike" after a few months of "life" and injury recovering. I pulled those 2 extremely competitive men for a few miles at a very consistent 22 mph pace all the while listening to them chat...

DB: woah look at her form
DH: yeah she looks good uh?
DB: she is so consistent
DH: her spinning is smooth!
DB: she is making me hurt...
DH: don't let her fool you...she has been taking a spinning class taught by a pro
DB: it's working!!!

the pull comes to an end at a stop sign...

DH: that class is really working for you...good pull!!!
DB: Girl! you got it going on!!!
Me: grinning from ear to ear!!!

hehe...I am so happy and hubby is quite impressed! He admitted he is glad I put my foot down and took these classes. He also admitted he was afraid I was not going to take it seriously, but apparently I am and workin 'em for my benefit!

Thank you all for listening!

***DB= dear buddy
