Emily....I will let you know and admit to all that I have fallen on my trainer TWICE. Yes, it is ok to laugh because I do. Like you the quick-release was not in the trainer notch correctly or too loose. So once I went into our wall unit, it actually caught me and the other was on the couch and both times my husband had to come get me out.

Don't worry, I now make sure my bike is in there good and tight. Have a Great trip to Key Largo while I am remembering to mention it now.

I will be honest to say, I that I do feel better riding on the roads than mtn biking. Only because I am slow and if we ride a single track trail and someone is coming behind I get all nervous. I am luck to have found back roads through developments to make a nice route. It is only 20 - 30 miles with one or two road having mild traffic, but it is a most enjoyable ride for me anyway and enough miles to make me happy.
