First indoor ride of the year…

Well….looking at the weather this morning, I decided to bite the bullet and put the bike downstairs on the trainer since it is going to be cold and snowy for weeks and I was tired of dodging ice and snow on the trails. So I got it washed and dragged it downstairs to dry off since it was only 22 outside and it would have ended up an ice ball if I left it out there…got the computer moved to the back wheel and got the idler roller adjusted right and then got on the bike and did 8 1/2 miles…yow, that was a lot of work compared to riding outside and I came away sweating through everything like I did 15 outside in the middle of August. It really felt good to not have to think about trail conditions and just go…I know it’s going to get boring since I can’t get tv signal down there but for now I am going to look forward to knowing I can ride everyday without freezing my butt off…think I’ll do two a days for a while until I get too sore and need ibuprofen…I’m seriously thinking of leaving this bike as my indoor bike and buying a new one for outside in the spring….hmmmm…
