Do none of you just head for the turbo trainer if its lashing ?

Detest the turbo, get no satisfaction it of it. Can't beat getting out.

She has claimed she waived the fee for appearing on Daybreak this morning. It seems she is actually the victim in all of this!

The gym has those Livestrong cycles in them, I haven't tried it yet but I believe it simulates a race/stages in the Tours. Was wondering has anyone tried them, are they any good?

Was it one last night, found it fun but not sure if the novelty would wear off after a few weeks.

I've a Tacx VR turbo and find it great.

Would use the GPS Rides feature that simulates my usual training routes using Google Earth quite a bit when I can't get out. It just avoids some of the boredom of following a training program on the turbo.

Been doing a lot of spinning this Autumn (always disliked it), it's took half a stone of me in 6 weeks or so, tho the enthusiasim is generally on the wane now 'til new year.

Slightly addicted to spinning. Been 3/4 times a week (2 years) without fail though it's frustrating (weirdly) watching ones just go through the motions and look as if they are heading down hill the whole time!!!

I seriously though need to get out on the roads for longer distances

Lads I bought a giant defy 5 last week and it was my  first day out yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it although I'm somewhat sore today. The only problem I had was the gears or shifting as the cycling buffs call it. Any good tips for gear changing or anywhere good online advice for me ??

Just a matter of getting used to them.

There's a Sean Kelly general guide for newbies available as a pdf on the wickow200 website, good reading.
