I use a Tacx Excel which I find is great as you can program in your normal outdoors ride (hills
descents etc) then either imagine where you are on the route or watch a video of the route (drive
round with a DV camera then stick the footage on tape or DVD). I used to use a cateye which also
felt very good but you can not program it & its very noisy when going hard. I like the look of the
new Elite trainers that are supposed to be very quiet.
Training outside is always the best option but if the weathers terrible or you live in the city with
only a hour or so time to train then a indoor trainer is ideal. If you plan to train more then
30minutes buy a large fan & drink plenty. Indoor Trainers are also great for doing interval workouts
or anything at a specific HR or power level.
