Nope, I can't do more than maybe 45-50 minutes, which includes warm up and cool down periods. To survive:
- Use a fan
- Drape a towel over the handlebars to catch sweat
- Only used trainer to do intervals - 3 minutes top hard effort, 3 minutes cool down effort, repeat about 5-6 sets
- Used for single leg spinning practice, switching legs
Could never do just pushing gears, no amount of tunes or TV could keep me on the trainer.

I agree, trainers are hard to ride on. I think it's the sheer boredom of not going anywhere that's tough. When riding, the scenery, the wind in your face, etc makes riding longer easier.

I keep a Y membership for wintertime use...at least it offers a hubbub of interesting people to break the monotony of "stationary motion". I've never to taken to either of my trainers...
