Oh, OUCH, MightyM! Thanks for the warning. I don't usually ride in front of the TV, never anything on worth watching, but just in case, if I do, I'll plant the trainer right in front of the screen. I think I do better riding to music. I can shut my eyes and picture a route that I'm on and go for it. Besides, I am always trying out new music for spin class, so that helps motivate me, also. Indoor riding is better than no riding, but it will never be as good as outside. We had temps in the 50's today and I managed to get out for a 25 miler and it was so wonderful, just to be outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold and windy again Today was a gift.
