im currently trying to lose weight and get fit, when slimmer would like to try a tri. have been told cycling is a great calorie burner and also wanted to make a start towards tri training.
i used to go to a spin class once a week but because of work cant anoymore, i would like to cycle a couple times a week. i have a mountain bike but its a tad small. im a bit worried about riding this out on the roads etc, any ideas on what i could do for training, would it be better to cycle on the gym stationary bikes?

but the best thing will be to get out on the road. you'll need to do that if you ddo a tri!
Make sure you have road tyres rather than the knobbly mountain bike ones.
It will make life so much easier
I bought one & the weight dropped off
just got my MTB out again and have been out on a couple of rides
what sort of sessions should i be doing for fitness /weight loss?
so far ive managed to do a between 75 mins and 2 hours averaging around 9-11mph and covering around 20 miles in the longer sessions -which i imagine is pretty slow !
btw the bike has knobbly tires and i mostly ride on country lanes so its not quite as quick as i used to manage on a road bike a few years ago
im not looking to do longer distances more good general fitness training so im wondering what sort of sessions it would be good to aim for?
75 min to 2 hrs seems great, just try to do something for an hour nearly every day.
