Thanks for your thoughts - I had thought about the spinning bike here at the complex, but would need to do that in my cycling gear for outside - wondering if I would get overly warm that way and be sweating when I hit the cold air on the bike...only one way to find out how this approach would work and that is to try it

Marni - thanks for the confirmation - that was my assumption but was wondering if I was over-thinking this. It is good to know that I was not. I will take my time and make sure I am dressed properly. After Monday night I probably can't ride until next week anyway since I over-did it a little
