Trainer Time

Don't forget your booties, it's coooooooold out there! More trainer time is in store for this evening, I do recommend the Conti Home Trainer Tire, besides being bright orange and very flashy, it resists heat build up and break down relative to a traditional used road tire on the trainer, and provides additional motivation to train - how flat will the surface area (of the tire) be, by the time the weather changes - or a least reaches temps consistently above freezing. Last week an easy gravel road ride turned into an adventure - darkness, ice patches, freezing temps, multiple dog chasings, and of course a good dose of hill work - it was all well worth the experience in the end.

A little dissappointed with the Duct Brand Window kit - plastic wrap for cheap apartment windows, used to increase heating efficiency and make you living space more comfortable with less energy...sustainability, green, energy efficiency - yeah!, the stuff stayed put for about 1.5 months - more proof wal-fart is taking over the world or a good reason to ride the trainer to heat your apartment.
