The Trainer

This week has begun the part of the cycling season that many cyclists fear more than anything else, the long winter on the trainer. Luckily for me I actually like the trainer. This is what a typical trainer set up looks like:


So you sort of just sit there and pedal, and then you pedal some more. I usually put a movie in and sit and pedal for 2-3 hrs at a time. If all goes according to plan I hope to watch all of the Bourne movies this week, so that should be exciting.

This winter I also hope to get into the weight room more, and also I want to get some cross country skis so I could do that as an alternative to being on the trainer. Either way I am optimistic for this upcoming season and its just about time to start getting prepared.
