If you can provide some newbie tips that might help me get over the trepidation.

Tracey, most spinning classes I've taken have had instructors who cater to noobs as well as veterans. And, I think once you get into the rhythm (of which you have lots, I am sure!), things sort of fall into place. I don't think you'll need padded shorts for a 45' class, though they might make you more comfy. I think you can buy the padded underwear at REI.com for ~ $25. I haven't looked in awhile.
I love reading about your body awareness... I have very little
and I'm trying to pay more attention to what I'm feeling, and then respond appropriately. I appreciate your (unintended) guidance.
