Spin Gym???

Having attended sessions at PACE, I'll attest to their excellence. They
have an InsideRide SuperTrainer that's worth riding at least one. Great
tool for mid-winter hillclimb workouts.

Keep your eyes and ears open for a 50,000 sq.ft. unused building
close in and I have a plan.

If you're in SE, the new 24 Hr Fitness on McLoughlin and Holgate has spin bikes on the cardio floor available 24/7, and you can even choose to have Evil Coach Troy lead you through a workout, if you so desire.  (They have computers attached that show your cadence and HR, as well as Spinervals videos)

I'm glad to know about the Portland PACE option...that's very convenient for me!

Okay, I've had this idea forever, but really don't have them means to
do anything with it. So maybe someone else can take the ball and run
with it.

Portland needs a real Spin Gym!  With all the cyclists and all the
rain, we need somewhere to go.

A place where there's a bunch of spin bikes some tvs and that's about
it. Sure, there could be all sorts of the simulated racing machines
and whatnot, but really just a place to sit on a spin bike and watch a
blazers game would be solid gold. Maybe charge a monthly membership,
maybe by the visit, there's a bunch of ways it could be structured to
make $$$.

Last year I searched like crazy, and there isn't anywhere in town that
just has an area devoted to spin bikes, where you can just come in, on
your own time, and bang out some intervals.

If anyone knows of such a place or wants to start one, get me in the
loop! I'll even work at the snack bar!

Thanks,

I would say that portland needs an indoor velodrome, a under cover mountain bike park or a infusion of fenders.  Spin classes are ok, but nothing beats actual riding.

I think P.A.C.E. is as close as it gets: www.portlandpace.com

Lot's of excellent coach led work-outs for cyclists by professional coaches
(Tedder, BRIHOP, Upper Echelon, Ironheads, etc), and an excellent training
facility with rollers, trainers, SuperTrainer cycling treadmill, etc, and
also strength and conditioning facilities. Not necessarily open 24-7, but
pretty close. Email myself, Tedder, Abers, or any of the other coaches for
more info.

Commute over with your rain jacket and then do
your work-out, and ride home. Best option until someone builds the indoor
velodrome.

Is there an indoor track still in the works for Portland? That would either be a good fit, or stiff competition pulling away would-be spinners.

And hook up generators to the bikes to supplement the electrical use at the
club.
Keep track of the kilowatt hrs produced individually and have a chart on the
front wall showing monthly leaders of kilowatt production. Sliding scale
monthly rates based on previous month's output.
And the Blazers could devote a section of seating to spin bikes at the
games.

Not that inside with a Blazer game doesn't sound fabulous, but might I
suggest a more interesting solution: http://www.rapha.cc/rain-jacket/
