Therefore I shall only say that the ONE time I did a spin class, I worried that I would never regain feeling in my crotch. Out of fear of never having an ounce of fun in the bedroom again, I leave cycling to others. :) That said, I can relate to the euphoria and sense of peace afterwards... sounds very much like hot yoga! 50Peachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17011364636033618478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118261797831917447.post-51560363724288305422014-01-14T14:27:48.151-05:002014-01-14T14:27:48.151-05:00This makes me want to cycle, although not enough t...This makes me want to cycle, although not enough to pay for it... ;)Natalie DeYounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906680301422288990noreply@blogger.com
