    Winter Bike Blues

    After the Christmas Tree came down, trainer and bike made it's return to the house, just in time for some Winter training.

    I hear ya! To top it off, it's been really snowy this winter, so I haven't even gotten out for those few "warm" days.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I put my Christmas tree on my bike instead of in the house, so the trainer didn't have to move (hey, more people see the Christmas Tree on the bike). The days *are* getting longer...

    I love the brooks and the "fight like Susan" sticker. Looks like the saddle is tilted up or maybe that's just the angle of the picture? The mirror must be handy for keeping people from sneaking up behind you while you're on the trainer, lol!

    Very nice indeed! I hear you about the winter blues...now that I am recovered enough to ride the weather just won't allow it... It DOES look like the saddle is tilted up, but pictures can show things that aren't there... It looks like you have plenty of room for your trainer, that is great!

    After reading here and looking at those pics again, I went and looked at the bike and indeed, I think the saddle is tilted slightly. It was sorta hard to tell as it was in the trainer already when I installed the saddle as the front wheel in the block is a smidgen higher then the back wheel. I thought that's what was making it look titled. We have only one trainer, so I took mine out for DH, so I was able to confirm it was tilted up a bit. LOL
