Seriously, speed and distance mean nothing on a trainer.

You have three variables you can measure that mean anything on a trainer, cadence, effort/power, and time. Time is easy, its on the wall, cadence is nice if you are trying to do some cadence drills, but effort/power is the big one and that is going to cost you, big time.
Tough to tell if you're trying to be funny or just being stupid. You do realize that a magnet on the rear wheel would give the OP a pretty good idea of how far he would have ridden if he weren't on a trainer, right?
