Just bought a cycling trainer. Sweating!!!

LOL I guess I must be spoilt. When I use the CompuTrainer I close all windows and doors, set the cooler to 16C/61F (won't go any lower) On top of this I have a fan blowing from the left of the front wheel and another blowing air on the calf muscles to the right of the crank. Positively freezing!

Seriously though I still sweat somewhat.

Just got the Kinetic by Kurt Road and am loving it so far. Solid as a rock.

I have a little TV tray beside my bike with a towel and water bottle on it. And the TV remote. My trainer is loud so I use wireless headphones to actually hear what is going on.

Oh yeah, and a fan. Ceiling fan on high for me.

I heard from a friend that is the best trainer you can get.

I used my fluid trac today before my crit race... warmed-up pedaling for about 20-minutes with one 30-sec interval for leg wake-up. And even at 9am, cold outside, and I am sweating.

How'd you fair with the trainer warming you up before you raced vs before?

My research seemed to indicate the same. For the relatively modest price premium over some of the others I think it was worth the investment, especially since it will see many hard hours of use this winter and beyond.
