Spinning & General Fitness . . .

[khushy]

I have been road-cycling for about 37 years - love it - done a few time trials but really love being out and about, 60-70 mile hilly rides on my own.

Started Spinning about 3 months ago - really enjoying it especially with the winter coming on - I go every day during the week - however I have noticed that if I DONT go, I feel REALLY crap - whats going on?

A few questions. 5 spinning sessions a week - wow that sounds a lot to me, what sort of intensity are these done at? When you say you feel crap, is that when you're back on your road bike or on your rest days? What about diet and recovery (good quality sleep)?
