Nice. For anyone here who didn't see it Fatty from
FatCyclist.com recently bet the blog readers he could do a full century on his rollers. It was being done (as a lot of his things are) as a LAF fundraiser and he ended up just over (101.66). Fatty
mentions the same thing as the OP - there's no downhill resting on rollers so it feels tougher. I put the link in because I'm one of the "suckers" he mentions. I admit I didn't think he could do it and did a dollar per mile bet, rather than the $25.00 he suggested. Oh well, it's for a good cause.
