Spin classes are usually pretty rigorous. Some train to heart rate, others to level of exersion, etc. Since my classes are at least as rigorous as my road miles, I usually assume about the same mileage in an hour as I would get on the road. Speed alone doesn't really tell you much because it is usually up to the individual…

I am 63 and new to MFP. I am quite active. Love to cycle and swim. I also need to lose 20 lbs. In fact I've tried to lose this weight for about a year now.

Too late to set a goal for December. So I'll go for January. My goal will be 300 miles. Normally, I'd say it's a sure thing but there a little thing called the weather. So right now I'm thinking of equating an hour of indoor with 18 miles or so. I think that's fair.

I'm very new to this site so if my posts are cryptic please excuse. The word bicycle makes my heart sing. I'm definitely in to post a few of my experiences and encourage others. I've been riding a road bike since I was 15 or 16 and if you only knew how old I am, would rival with Napolean's defeat at Waterloo. I did take…
