[QUOTE=Tomm Willians;22567146Quite frankly I get my butt handed to me especially when it comes to standing on the pedals. It’s bizarre to know for a fact I can outcycle everyone in the class with the exception of one lady, but they all put me in my place in spin.[/QUOTE]

I think this is a good example of Specificity: To improve in a given activity, the way you train should closely mimic the activity.

Spin class is different enough from road cycling that training one does not necessarily provide benefits in the other.
