Took it back to REI this afternoon. I had it for 10 days and put 120 miles on it. I really didn't like it.

Today it was 100F in Orange County and I went to change my rear tire and get the trainer out and instead I told my wife to hell with that and I had some beer instead. That's when I knew it wouldn't be working out.

I took it back and will just HTFU. I'd rather ride in winter, rain, cold, heat, whatever, than sit on that damn thing and pedal away. It took leaps and bounds to get my heart rate to 150bpm whereas on a ride into the mountains I'm pegged at 170 and having a blast.

Sorry trainer. We were never meant to be.
