If you pick a relatively flat route, that won't be any more arduous than a session on the trainer and will be more fun.
As far as all-purpose tires, if you are going to mix trainer and road use, I'd recommend something tough like Continental Gatorskins. I've gotten more mileage off them than any other similar tire and think they're worth the price premium.
Actually That is the plan to ride outside on the 29er as much as I can, and to ride inside on the road bike with a trainer when I can't get outside due to weather or time of day. I prefer to ride outside and get some breeze to help keep me dry. Maybe I can get the oldest boy to ride with me too as that sometimes is a motivating factor. Thank you for the recomendation on the tires
