Actually, the spinning class strikes me as a great idea. I've heard that working out on a trainer is more intense that riding on the roads. Not that I would ever want to give up the roads, but to fit in a short intense workout now and then would really help me. Also, while Atlanta does have good weather most of the year, the extreme heat and humitidy of the summer can occasionally be really debilitating to me (a transplant from the north). Thanks also for this tip! Sara
