Hey, I've posted about this in the Training forum as well, but thought I might get more responses here. Also, I did search but didn't find much ... if I've missed a thread that I should've looked at, my apologies.

I've got 3 1/2 months to train for a trip which is going to include a few longish rides (100+ miles) that are going to include climbs larger and longer than anything I've ridden before. I've got to do most of my training indoors on my Fluid2, and can do 10 - 12 hours a week, more if need be.

Questions:

How best to replicate climbing work on my trainer?

I'm new to structured training, so please speak slowly and use small words. I have HRM only, no power. I am doing the threshold test this Monday to be able to better set my training zones.

Thanks to anyone who chips in here with advice or links to resources. Again, I'm new to all of this.
