Indeed. I get bored after about two minutes. I think I'd rather just suck as a rider than to try to improve via a trainer.
Spinning classes aren't bad though.

Trainers definately suck, I had to spend an hour on one last night doing 10 seconds fast cadence, 10 seconds faster cadence, 10 seconds fastest cadence (repeat three times), recover 60 seconds. Then 30 seconds left leg dominant, 30 seconds right leg dominant (repeat 3 times). Then repeat the whole exercise five times. It sucked.
Night before that I had to do isolated leg training for 30 minutes. Had to do a total of seven minutes with each leg solo, did 30 seconds at a time.
Tonight I just have to do 30 minutes on the rollers while staying in heart rate zone 1.
How exciting.

Y'all ever here of those fancy bike lights that allow you to ride after dark.
Why ride a trainer when you can get out and dice with beantown traffic? 
Yeah, sure have. It's hard to do specific training out on the road or trails though. Unfortunately I have to put a lot of time in on the trainer this year to get ready for next season. Have to do what the coach tells me to do.Wumpus said:

Did you just volunteer to be the trainer??splat said:
dam Straight I did ! We have a Lovely Rock know as the spider ! it is just begging her to do the 12 foot drop off of it.loco said:Did you just volunteer to be the trainer??
Cambridge girlies don't get out as far as 495, they fear that they'll get eaten by feral cows. 
I never got the trainer thing. I guess they are good to have around for rainy days, but if its not raining, dress appropriatly, and go outside and ride! Thats my philosophy at least.
since it is now trainer season, I like to set mine up in front of the TV tuned into NESN. Ride for a period of a Bruins game 3xs a week does wonders
Thanks for the invite, but no can do. My XC bike is currently a little over 100 miles west of here, as is my headlamp. There's also a part of me that really dislikes driving somewhere, especially in rush hour(an oxymoron) traffic, to ride my bike. The promise of feral cows is tempting, though.
