Winter training
This probably gets asked in one form or another every year, but what does everybody do for training in the off-season? In my DF days I used to ride my mountain bike or hybrid all winter. Even after getting a bent, I still bicycle commuted on my hybrid. Now I live too far from work, about the only way I can bike commute is to park-and-ride a few miles. So I take a swimming fitness class and try to hop on the trainer. What does everyone else do?

Re: Winter training
So far there are no sofa trainers. That surprises me!
Funny story. At our club's holiday party I heard from two different members that "Joe" had gotten a recumbent. But nobody knew what kind. This surprised me, because "Joe" is a die-hard DF rider, who owns a Pinarello and a Seven. So I questioned is S.O. tonight when I saw her. Turns out he DIDN'T have a recumbent bike, he was referring to his couch. So "riding his recumbent" meant he was watching TV on the sofa, not that he had a new 'bent.  |

Re: Winter training
Quite a different problem where I live in Australia, 2 weeks ago I did a 200km Brevet in 40-44c degrees (about 115f)

Re: Winter training

I have a personal rule that I try to ride every other day or at least every third day. Most of the year, that means cycling 5-6 days out of 7. In the winter, though, I average 2-3 times a week and usually one day on a trainer. I did extend my 1983 Kreitler rollers this winter to ride with my Aero or Team, but so far, I haven't had much sucess. I seem to be bent/roller challenged, despite having ridden thousands of miles with a DF on rollers. I'll get it eventually.  -Dennis |
