Sorry we missed you. For me, it was pretty clunky. Usually 20-30 minutes in I start feeling pretty good, but not so today. Each interval sucked more than the previous. It was a real grind for me this morning, when I didn't think it should have been. Ah well, some days you have some you don't, but we got it done.

I would have never guessed from your output. It's so crazy how much size makes a difference. I'm 5ft flat and 138 and your output was over twice mine. I was also humbled when Matt said his Z3 and it's my Z6-7.

One thing I am really starting to buy more in to, is the frequency, duration, intensity thing he has been driving home lately. For example, I rode twice last week and then was on the road bike Saturday. Turned around and did a low impact yesterday, so I thought I would be feeling strong this morning. Not so. So the more I think about it, I am under the impression that my best performance is when I ride a minimum of 4 times / week and try to miss no more than one day between rides.

Got on at 5:30 and saw you all riding together, one of these days I'll actually jump in and join you

Got my team assignment for 3-93 in the next PZP Challenge. Gvine, I think that's your group, right?

I got that group too

I'm in 4-21, which I think is pretty redass because Muster

That is my group! Looks like it was taken over by the BooCrew, not sure if that will be annoying or not (not really sure what it is). I'm #GradyG07

I plan to ride MWF at 5:40ish. Glad to have you and Traditions! Last challenge was great for me. I was consistent and did PZ max and 60 minute rides for the first time.

My bike shows up tomorrow. Getting pumped!

I'm excited to get going. I'm usually an early afternoon or late evening guy because of kids.

I googled it because I was curious too, and it looks line Boo Crew is Cody Rigsby's fan group.

Got my bike this morning and started the basics program. I'm pretty sure I'm going to die on this thing lol. So out of shape. It was a breeze until the resistance bumped up to 50. Then not a breeze.

My user name is BQRyno and I joined the texags and texasaggies groups.

oh, this is amazing news!

If all my PZ rides were rock or classic rock I'd be the happiest girl in the world

Just an excuse for Christine to create a Smiths-only or Cure-only PZ ride.

How long should I roll with the basics program before getting into power zones? I am new to indoor cycling.

Try a 30min PZ endurance rides today. They are based on what you can do, so if you feel like you have a handle on riding the bike, just go for it. They will help you find what the zones feel like the start of the ride. You can do a FTP test in a couple of weeks when you feel like trying out death by bike. The FTP givesyou more precise PZ measures rather than going by feeling.

Has the "Sessions" thing made it over to the bike? On the tread, the last couple runs I have done gave that option. Almost like a live class, but not on the schedule. It's a waiting room, others join and you all start at the same time like a live class. Hasn't been real popular on the tread so far though. One I did had 2 other people and the other i did had just me.

Yes...I like it. It is like a mini class where I can kick 12 people's butts

Planning on doing Wilpers 60min PZE tomorrow morning at 7am CST if anyone is interested

I'm a few days in and getting acclimated. I'm going to start the discover your power zones program soon. When and how should I get into the group challenges y'all talk about?

I'm looking at buying a Peloton bike for the wife for Christmas (I'll probably be using it more than she will but she says she wants one, so I can kill two birds with one stone). Anything in particular I should know or think about before going through with it? We are completely new to stationary bikes.
Also, any promo codes or referral codes to help out with anything? Thanks!

Order soon because delivery wait times are long! My referral code is 2AUYEG.

Use this to help set yourself up on the bike correctly. It will save you a lot of potential issues. Peloton Bike Setup

I also recommend taking classes from every instructor to find who you really like. You'll see on here that most of us are Power Zone people, but there are a tons of rides to choose from!

I've been using one at work for several years. Started working from home back in March because of COVID. Our gym at work closed the same time. Ordered a Peloton in August and received it in October. It's great having one at home!

My favorite instructor when I started was Steve Little. "Check yo self before you wreck yo self"!

Following Emma Lovewell these days. May check out Wilpers based on this thread.

Emma is great. I think you'll definitely like Matt - he's just a solid, consistent instructor that is positive w/o feeling like a cheerleader

Another vote for Matt's classes. Denis Morton is also a favorite. I think he does a good job of walking the cheerleader/entertainer and coach line.

For runs, I really love Becs Gentry.

Anyone else doing the Matt Wilpers 30 minute PZE ride at 5am tomorrow?

Already signed up, see you there!

Let's do it

Y'all just go ahead and ignore my output!

I'm sure you will be close to Nitro

I took a sessions class today. I liked it.
