I am hanging in there, working up by 5 minute intervals every day, but UGH. It is way too cold and windy and rainy outside.
The rollers definitely feel tougher than an outside ride, even with hills. I think it has something to do with not being able to coast at all. I also liken riding on rollers vs on the road to be like walking on ice; it's just that much harder.

I think it's worth it because I feel it makes you a smoother rider and better able to hold a line.
