I'm already using a fan. The LBS owner mentioned it but I already knew I was going to use a fan. Today I set the trainer up in front of the TV(that's the Tele for our UK brethren). Tomorrow, I think I'll use my netbook and watch a flick on Netflix...need see if I have a long reaching pair of earbuds...or maybe I'll just listen to my Mp3 player. 0400 is a bit early to have the volume up to hear over the fan. An hour on the trainer is definitely far better than no ride whatsoever.
