I figured I'd add to this thread since I'm stopping by... I'm out in Afghanistan right now, and I ended up having to turn to mountain biking to get my fix. I think I'd go nuts on a trainer. Terrain is mostly flat, but there are some sections out there where there are some turns, ups/downs, etc., enough to keep it interesting. This was taken by a radiologist friend of mine. It was 118F when this was taken, and a little dusty. The 100-oz CamelBak lasts about 2 hours out there, so it's good that there are plenty of places to fill up.

Gotta take advantage of the down time any way you can. Keeping clear of the razor wire is also generally a good thing.
