Hi, thanks

I was certified through Mad Dogg Athletics (Johnny G). That class you mentioned does sound brutal.

I've been reading on the forums here about how many people feel the same as you in wanting their indoor rides to simulate outdoor riding. It's funny, although I began as an outdoor cyclist, I have always thought of the two as separate species and even though I "spin" on my own often when the classroom is empty, I am not really thinking too much about simulating the outdoors...Now I think I need to revisit this but I'm not sure how...

Is it as simple as referring to things like "getting to the top of the hill" or "sprinting down the backside" after doing a hard "climb" and following up with a high-cadence/low resistence effort/song?

thank you for your help!!
