I use a hunk of wood for my front wheel to sit on.

The front riser block is usually separate. I bought one but it didn't end up being the right height to level me out (raised the front too much). Now, I use various wood blocks.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Like Michele, when we used a trainer, we used a couple of telephone books too.
We did start with a chunk of wood, but the bike wheel tended to move off it too easily. For some reason, we didn't have the same problem with the telephone books...
(We have a spin bike now)
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
