Winter Training

Postby Andy Wills on Sat Nov 24, 2007 7:09 pm

Brass monkey weather :( Don't want to go out and get wet and cold? Can't blame you.
Why not ask Santa for a turbo trainer? You hook the back wheel of your bike up to this little beauty and away you go. Ride as long as you want in the warm and dry. Put it infront of the TV and get fit whilst you watch the Corrie omnibus. (That's you Matt, that is) :lol:
The only down side is Turbo's can be noisy and expensive. A really good alternative is a set of warm up rollers. For those who have good balance, you can have a set with three rollers. The front roller is driven by a band from the rear roller, so it spins your front wheel to keep you balanced. If like me,you find that a bit too much of a challenge, try a set of traditional warm up rollers. Your front wheel is removed and you clamp your forks into the roller frame. Back wheel sits on two rollers. Then off you go. 8) I paid £62 for my rollers. Try visiting www.mikedyason@aol.com for rollers,turbos and other kit. :wink: AW

I'm not quite sure what you are alluding to there, Mr W? :?

What I would recommend to anyone however is to simply GET OUTSIDE! That's half the battle and will train your mind as well as your body. Om.

I would second that Matt. I would rather get out in some crap weather than spend half an hour spinning and watching Corrie.
