    Winter Trainer challenge?

    Anyone interested in starting a little trainer challenge for the winter, say through February? I see this as more challenging ourselves, and use a Google spreadsheet to track our goals. Time on trainer? Days of the week? I won't be doing it more than 1-2 times a week considering all my gym-rat activities, but I need an incentive to bring out the trainer when I return from my Thanksgiving trip. We did something like this a few years ago and it seemed to work well.

    We also could just post on this thread, we don't NEED a spreadsheet unless there is interest. I could set it up and make it possible for everyone to edit it as needed.

    I'm definitely interested! Although like you, I won't be on it as much as in the past with nordic skiing and riding the new FATBIKE, but I'm in!

    I'm in. My team does a weekly Sufferfest workout already, so this will be a good incentive to get on the trainer at least once more each week, especially if I can't get an outdoor ride in.

    You know, this could also simply be a general exercise challenge as well - I think that is what it developed into the last time we did it. Any thoughts on that? In the end, this is meant to help us get out and do what we know we need to do

    Sure! I don't always have the ability to ride outdoors (work sucks!), but I could use the exercise.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I'm planning to do something in December - not quite sure what yet. I might do the Spinervals one: http://www.spinervals.com/public/Spi...ition_FREE.cfm I'm sure it would totally kick my butt. But - I do have exams in there - so we'll see. I might jump on here - or just do it on my own. We shall see! Definitely trying to get a good jump on base building over the winter break, though.

    ETA: the other place I really want to focus is swimming, but my pool is closed for 3 weeks in December (university). Boo!!!
