OCN: One hour plus on the Trainer, rode in the Virgin Islands again :-) Added some spinning drills and some speed drills. Did not do intervals because I wanted some left in the tank for Saturday's ride if I chose to ride with a group!
Yup!
I did it! After-finishing my chores I checked the temps outside and it was already in the 90s. By default that means I don't train outside! Which, thanks to the trainer, is no longer a problem. I tried a different bike today. I put the Litespeed Goat on there to see if it would work just as well as the TT rig and no problems. A little more adjusting at first, but no problem at all and I had fun!
I am surprised that I am having fun on the trainer! Perhaps, it is because I have never had this option and so the novelty and increased technology that I'm working with just add to the fun. Although, the fun with the increased technology just goes to prove what a "nerdlinger" I am according to my wife!
The Brooks Cambium C17 was great on the trainer. No problems, no discomfort whatsoever. Wore a bib-short with minimal padding and it performed very well! Mark of true quality, once the training started it was quickly forgotten. I noticed they came out with a C15 that's lighter and narrower which neither were an issue for me. I would still love to try the one with the cutout. I was selected to test it, but perhaps they didn't want to incur the cost of over-seas delivery. That's ok, I still love my C17 and do not look forward to the day Brooks may want it back for show of wear for testing purposes.
I did seem to sweat profusely, but then the headphones I was using were over the ears with padding etc. Those things always make me feel all sweaty! Next time I won't forget my ear-buds :-)
Perhaps, I should be thinking in terms of a streak! Ride everyday no matter what! Is that possible?
