NLU Peloton Thread - Weekly Ride: 30 minute 2010’s Hip Hop Ride with Ally from 7/25/24

Thanks. I figured I would need shoes. My wife is a teacher and I read on their website educators get the “essentials” pack for free. I think that includes shoes. So I would just need to get one extra pair, but I doubt I’ll get the “Peloton” ones. I could be wrong, but I’m assuming they are priced higher simply because they say Peloton.

I’ve spent a lot of time running and using cardio machines, but I’ve literally never considered a heart rate monitor. Is it needed?

From what I read that’s for the Bike+. When comparing the two, it looked like that was basically the only real difference. So if I go through with this, I’m going with the regular bike. I don’t think it’s worth the big price jump for my situation.

I like it because I like to know what HR zones I’m in (working more cardio or weight loss depending on zones).

I figured for my first ride with the NLU Crew I may as well set a new PB

Hey Casey, now that you’re almost officially part of NLU, maybe kick Neils butt into swinging by here? He popped in to say his then girlfriend now fiancée got one, so I assume he’s riding but he’s nowhere to be seen on this thread.

Congrats again btw - love that the guys keep bringing great people into the fold.

Just did this one last night and it might honestly be my favorite ride I’ve ever done! Loved the soundtrack honestly, but that Thunderstruck push was absolutely brutal!

I’ve done it twice since Saturday. I can see it being one I return to as the playlist is the best and Sam is great in it. Thunderstruck though, that was tough…

What are the odds that back to back posters end up within 8 places of each other out of over 100K rides taken? That’s wild, man

New PB, not sure how to beat this other than getting really used to having a high heart rate I guess. Don’t have much slack in terms of resting a lot.

Alex was hyped up for this one and made me laugh a couple times, good ride.
