What are you better at due to Spin Class?

[tctrek]

Spinning helped me a lot with picking up my cadence. I've increased my average cadence from 74 to 84 this past year. Last winter I went to spinning classes at least 3-4 times a week.

I've only been to one spinning class since April and I was surprised to feel claustrophobic in the class. After riding outdoors 6 days a week, I found that I couldn't breathe right and was uber-sweaty in the spin class. I longed for the breeze in my face as I travelled down the road.

I hope I can get back into spinning classes when the cold weather comes as I don't see myself riding in sub-freezing weather.

Climbing.
I went back to my first spin class of the summer just tonight. I kept trying to use the handbrakes on the flat part of the bar. They weren't there

Intervals.

I did no spin last winter and I've paid for it all this season. I'm already strong on climbs...intervals build speed.
