Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yes, pick up a HRM. That way you can replicate it during your other trainings. You can pick up a good new HRM on ebay for less than $40.

you'll need a way to monitor your output. cts likes power meters, but you can also use an hrm.
