I like to do the bike at my gym. How many miles should I be going though to get a god workout? I usually have the intensity at medium. Right now I am doing 14 miles each work out, every day. Is that enough? Should I be doing more? How much?

How much is enough to an experienced cyclist is like asking him how long does it take.... there is no individual or real answer. Up until 3 months ago, mine was a minimum of 20 miles. Now, for some reason it is 10 mile 'sprints' I feel terrific and all is well. Your body or your needs will tell you. If it is caloric, your ride burns approx. 500 calories per ride. As important is how you ride. Make sure that you are spinning at in excess of 70 rpm with moderate pedal pressure.

Let you, tell you, what is the proper distance..... listen to your body.

How do cyclists train in the winter?




Marcy


I'm on a road bike and considering starting training indoors? Any tips - I hate riding in the winter but want to stay in riding shape.


Answer
What most road cyclists do is take spinning classes in winter with one or two a week that are endurance spinning classes(two or three hour spinning classes). We also ride in weather that is 40 degrees & dry in Winter. You may have to wear tights or warmers, shoe covers, bacakva and a warm jacket but will do fine. Riding/Training in winter is do-able but stay dry.
