Back in the day I used to say I'd rather watch paint dry than grind away on a trainer. Then I got into TT'ing. Before I got my Kurt I was using a Performance Travel Trac entry level trainer. Compared to the travel trac, the Kurt is like riding a magic carpet.

Trainer is great for many reasons: don't have to stop for traffic; weather conditions are always the same; easy to monitor effort level; netflix instant on the big screen.
