Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best free cycling training program for trainer?

I like TrainerRoad but am wondering if there are free alternatives out there that are as good.

Not as fancy as TrainerRoad and such but GCN has some great training videos on youtube that you can ride along with.

depending on your trainer you can usually get their software to control the trainer, so just need to set up whatever workout you want to accomplish. I'm pretty sure Wahoo will let you re-ride a real ride you did if that's what you're looking for.

I would also recommend Maximum Trainer.
There's also Onelap, the Chinese version of Zwift - it is also free.
