Spinning at Now Sports

Time again to find ways to stay on the bike indoors. The guys at work head to Now Sport at noon for some spinning. Now Sport has a nice new area set up for spinning and they very generously let us come over and use it all winter. They also have a trainer attached to a computer for doing virtual rides on a computer. I usually don't bother because I can do it at night at home just as easily. However it is nice to mix it up as well as hang out with other riders instead just being alone in the basement. Here is Frankster riding in the new workout area. That's his new bike that he has on layaway at Now until next season. Nice bike.



The bikes on the wall are owned by people that elect to store them at Now for the winter. That way they don't have to carry them in, I did. Plus it probably makes the spouse happier not having them in the basement.




Just like last year I participated in their virtual time trail. The contest runs the whole month and as of this post I was in 2nd place - of two people that have done the ride. But the first place guy is very fast and he's beating me by only 15 seconds. So I wasn't too disappointed. Here you can see me set up on the Trax training and the route I'm riding on the TV screen.
