Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

wow Wow WoW WOW !!!

I need to throw out a big thanks to Chris Charmichael, Troy Jacobson and Paul Fabish. Why ??? Well ... I road outside for the first time this year and it was great. I had more power than I have ever had on a bike. I've spent 4 days a week riding on an indoor trainer since January 1. I watched Chris's and Troy's videos and they helped me with my strength and vo2. I also had my bike sized to fit me by Paul and it felt like that made a big difference.

This is a first for me actually training on a biek indoors. I took hills much stronger than ever before. It was funny feeling the bike excellerate underneath me after being staionary for so long. I easily picked up between 2-3 mph over my times on the same route at the end of my cycling season last year.

Now, I just need to incorporate indoor training into my regular season to keep the fitness levels where they are or improve them.

Just thought I'd share ... wow ... what a great day !!!!

Great report John. I find my stationary bike boring, but I've never tried it with videos. Sounds like a good idea.

I am a huge fan of Coach Troy's Spinervals. I think they're fantastic!
