Once again, trainer miles should count as exercise, not cycling, IMHO. If you report miles to the forum, let us know so the people who care can tell the difference. Even when you report road miles, it is helpful to know if they were in the mountains, the flats, good weather, winter weather, etc. Many people already make that kind of distiniction, so trainer riders should do the same.
So you want to know how hilly it was, how windy and from what direction and how long you rode into the wind, how hot it was, how cold it was, how much traffic, how much air you had in the tires plus how wide they were, what gear you were in, how much the bike weighed, how much you weigh, what your IQ is (very important) and how often you coasted down hill. Help me out and post what I have missed.
