No, counting miles on a
CRAP trainer is pointless.

I ride by time and not distance on the trainer. If you absolutely MUST use a computer, temporarily mount it behind you somewhere on the frame so you can read the numbers after your workout.
53x12 @ 100mph on a KK trainer is 34.5mph and nearly 950 watts. If you can "pedal away" at that level for any length of time I look forward to seeing you at the Tour.
