trying out the home trainer...

after not doing my long ride this morning (i needed the sleep - really!!) I decided to go into work and pick up the trainer and try and set it up. despite being an expert ikea instruction reader I still struggled with this one. after a few false starts I think I got it sorted and I was good to go.

I bought the dvd series of Love My Way (a foxtel only aussie series filmed around the eastern suburbs of Sydney) so I watched a few episodes. Unfortunately they were the very sad ones - so I hope I haven't subconsciously made an association with riding the bike :)

I found it pretty comfortable, and although its not as good as getting on the road it is still time on the bike which is good news. All up this afternoon I did 75 mins. No idea what that would equate to in distance! might get one of those bike computers one day!
