Pulled out the dreaded trainer and my TT bike. I wanted to work on the positioning of the bars some anyway so why not. I don't have an option of riding in front of a TV, video etc so just got out in the garage facing the walk through door so I could see outside. As hard as I pedaled I just could not get that bike to come off the trainer and out the door.......I'm glad I did it-now that it's over-but it's certainly at the bottom of my list in terms of favorite riding activities.
I ride the spinning bike at the club or at home 5 out of 7 days a week for 15 to 18 miles each time. To cold and icy out. One almost fatal bike accident is enough for me. I do not mind the spinning bike. Its not as much fun as riding one of my road bikes but I must stay in shape for riding season.
