The routines I like the best are the ones where the trainer guides you through a simulated ride through the countryside. I like those because it seems like I get more of a workout with those than the standard routines.

Two hours? That seems a little long. At the local Y that I belong to the classes are at most an hour - most are just 45 minutes long. They just seem to fly by and most evenings I get a good workout. Of course it depends on what bike I get - they have some new bikes but they also have some that should have been retired 10 years ago. They're starting to get new equipment in so hopefully some more new bikes will be filtering in soon.
