Almost a Week of Riding Every Day
Well, I have had so much fun going to indoor cycling class every day since Monday—even in all of this freezing Polar Vortex weather. I have taken a variety of classes, I have made friends, I have hopefully gotten stronger, but I can also feel a certain level of diminishing return from riding every day.

My second first day back at CYCLEBAR Columbia Pike was great!
I really enjoyed my second first ride. While yesterday was my first first ride back, I didn't reach any flow. It was just a shakedown. Yesterday's was more fun. I felt back at home. And, I stayed within my Maffetone range of 105-115bpm 90% of the time.

My Week at Cyclebar Columbia Pike
Today's my spin day. Tonight at 7:15--15-minutes early, as I always try to be--I'll be joining a new instructor, Sam, for a 7:30 ride called The After Party.

On my first day back at CYCLEBAR
Even though I am not really following along with the class's program or the sprints and grinds and up off the seat and down on the seat HIIT system, being in a class and having a trainer and being committed to not farting around at all during the 45-60-minutes the class takes place, makes it all worth it for me.

Recovery from intense physical activity is a real thing
While I do concede that recovery days do rob me of valuable caloric expenditure, fitness is a series of ascending plateaus.

Spin Instructors are Cycling Coxswains
I know we call them spin instructors, indoor cycling instructors, or even CYCLESTARS, like we do at CYCLEBAR, to me, they'll be forever known as my Cycling Coxswains.

Spinning every weekday
How in the world can just 45-minutes of pedaling a stationary bike take my body to its physical limits?

The results of three days of inactive recovery and some motivational words from my best friend
I canceled my Friday ride last week and took the weekend off. No spinning or CYCLEBAR for me until last night. And, despite what everyone said, I didn't do any amount of active recovery (though I do consider that to be a mistake I don't regret but will try to learn from).
