I met a man from upper New York State who actually qualified for RAM using indoor training. Winters in upper NYS aren't good for cycling. Have fun.
Modern trainers are ideal for strength and endurance training. The technology makes it interesting, I don’t find a 90 minute workout to be boring. I really don’t think I’m missing much by reducing outdoor cycling time. Certainly, trainers are the best “anytime” option when the weather is a problem.
