I can't be the only one...

I second everyone who said it is so much better to ride indoors with friends/family. Longest trainer ride for me was 3hr 45min, on a computrainer at the LBS. I get in a 3+ hr ride once per week all winter. No way I could do that at home alone. 4days per week total on the trainer for a combination of intervals and endurance rides. Great gains can be made, so it is totally worth it come spring.

I do hate the trainer, I feel kinda like a hamster on it. It does allow me to focus and do intervals I wouldn't do outside so I work harder on it. I havnt used mine much this winter but I plan on doing a few days a week after the new year. I have rollers and havnt learned the magic password to make it so I can ride for more than a few mins with out falling off them (even in a hallway). Crashing on them still hurts but is very funny!I plan on mastering rollers by next winter. My DH likes to prove it can be done by riding no handed showoff. I guess trainers and rollers are better than not riding at all but I still don't like them.
