Not bragging about my numbers (not all that braggable). Just love to see proof of the improvement. I programmed this course about a month ago and with all of the targeted workouts I have been doing I can tell a big difference even when I ride outside. It's just really nice to see it quantified from the trainer as well. Had I ridden this course back in September when I got the trainer (Travel Trac RealAxiom) the power number would have likely been more in the 150 range (or less - just a guess). This thing has really helped me improve during the colder, darker weather. Still like hitting the road better, but this quantified improvement makes the inside "miles" a bit more bearable.

What I enjoy most is that I'm not intimidated by hills any more. In fact, I keep looking for bigger ones to challenge me now and get a thrill out doing it. I love the improvement in power and endurace I have been getting and I am looking forward to my power going up while my weight continues to go down to make that ratio even more favorable. I really think the trainer has helped me do this quicker than just going out and riding a lot (which I do like to do).
That is all. Just got all happy and excited today after my workout. Had to toss it somewhere :D
