+1.....Years ago, maybe 97 we had a pretty long rainy season (seriously for us here in So Ca.
).
I had actually bought a trainer for Gina as she was going to use it (never happened
). I did intervals and a workout that added up to 45 minutes. I was never bored for even a minute unless wanting to puke is being bored.
Results were amazing. After a month of indoor intervals, I returned to outside riding and my style was totally different. I could spin a much higher cadence and average on same rides was much higher. From really pushign hard to hold 15 to cruising at a 17 average on the same rides.
I was not a member of bikejournal back then.
