I hate the trainer too and DH and I both have one set up in the basement with training DVD's, a fan, towels.......I just have to make myself go down those steps and get on the bike 2-3 times a week. It's sort of like running on a treadmill---UGH! They are both great for training when you can't get outside; better than nothing.

IMO There is really no reason to be on the trainer nearly as long as on an outdoor ride.
There is no coasting, braking, downhills, stop signs curves...all those things that give you a little break throughout a ride. Try to figure out how much of your outdoor rides are ACTUALLY spent at a given level of effort. It's not the whole time.
An hour on the trainer is generally more than enough.
