I may have to find a C&V aluminum bike for this,
Yup, Zwift. I sign up at the first prolonged cold snap, usually late December, early Jan and use it through March. I don’t often do the races or scheduled workouts. Just get on and ride. I ride harder, and usually longer, on Zwift compared to a regular trainer because of KOM intervals, sprints, chasing down other riders, etc.
