Well, I couldn't let such a beautiful day end without another ride and the family was to be out so I went out last night for another 10.8 outdoor miles. Yup, no trainer for me. felt good and the weather was nice. I decided to switch back to the Fizik Antares saddle and decided to brave the chill of 48-51 F weather at 5 AM and do another outdoor ride. As I was just starting out, it was good to see another cyclist out for a ride. The rest of Plainview was fast assleep and hardly a car was seen until the sun rose. Got in another 13.2 miles this morning.
Yeah, I have to agree trainer workouts are definitely easier than real road rides. Either that or the trainer is setup to emulate a 150 lb rider and me being 202 +/-lb plus the weight of the gear on the bike, it doesn't do it justice. It is definitely better than no riding at all but outdoors is better.
