Hey Hotrod, if you don't live too far from Amboy, come out on Tuesday evenings for the Rock River Valley Bicycle Club's weekly trainer "rides." A bunch of us bring our bikes and trainers to the Green River Cyclery. We watch training videos, ride in place, and sweat and laugh. It's a good motivation.
If you do live too far from Amboy, start your own trainer rides. You need a TV, a VCR, some videotapes, some friends and a place to get together.
