I see from another web search that blocks are inexpensive. I don't know why I thought otherwise...

Thanks for the tip on all the websites - there's so much to learn! i love it I do have a mountain ride that I'd like to attempt this summer so this will help enormously. (It's probably absurdly ambitious but gotta try.)

cheers!
definitely check out the Dr. Arnie Baker articles on training on a trainer at the road bike rider dot com website. There are at least two for climbing and climbing intervals along with several that incorporate one leg training as well as standing and sitting intervals.
