EEEKKK!!! I rode on a trainer....

I have resigned myself to the trainer for the 6 months of winter up here. If the roads aren't covered with snow, they're covered with gravel that they put down for traction.

I have mine set up in front of a DVD player, too. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. ...well, maybe... I'm starting to have dreams about Coach Troy.

Sooooo, it's raining pretty hard here today. Normally I would bail on my outdoor hill ride but I'm toughing it out today. Thanks for the inspiration.

I got a trainer in December, and BOY IS IT HARD!!! On the up side, I read in Triathlete Magazine that every hour on the trainer is the equivalent of 1.5 hours outside!

I believe it - there's no coasting on the trainer. So I do my 45 minutes on the trainer and figure it's like an hour+ ride outdoors. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
