Snow Snow, I wish you would go away.

All this cold weather and piles and piles of snow has kept me from riding outdoors. I wish that it would warm up soon at least get up to 30 degrees or so. Any way, I been riding in front of the TV a bunch lately and thinking how nice it would be to ride outside. O ya, we should hook up some weekend night for some good ol hot wings. Sound good...Lets get planning..

Yep,, got the trainer out

Well I finally got the trainer out. It is just too cold for me to go out for a ride. As soon as the temps get up into the 30's I will get out again.

Trainer Time * UPDATED*

Today marked the day that i brought in the skinny bike, changed tires and hooked it to the trainer.

I managed about 40 mins and finished with over 11 miles. My HR monitor was wacky as it said I only burned 45 calories. At any rate its nice to have the bike inside and ready to go.

Should I break out the trainer log again? What say you?

** UPDATED:**

You didn't say anything so I put it back on the right nav way ------->

Last Year has its own tab.

Let me know if you want me to add you to the list so you can log your trainer time too? I think it will be fun to compare this winter to last.

Vertigo and ...

Over the last 2 weeks, I've had 2 seperate vertigo spells.  You know, the feeling that you (or I) get when reading in the car.  It's no good.  

My motivation is low, its 0 outside - What keeps you going?  

Trainer plans tomorrow night.  Tonight, I think I'll drink a beer.  I may as well have a few, so that I can get the bed spins for real!

crappy weather = trainer

I know that Greg and I both settled for the trainer today. The logs on the right in case you are interested... ok, so I doubt anyone would be but....

Trainer time

I logged 30 minutes on the trainer last night. I was surprise at how far I DID NOT GO.

Big Chain Ring, 15 and 13. Cadence 80

I had a good sweat going but only managed to ride 9.5+ miles. Hmmmm. I wish that I would have had on my HRM to see the calories. It sure beat running on the treadmill though.

I am going to start a trainer log. I'm going to write down the date, time ridden, miles ridden and calories - if wearing a HRM. That way I'll be able to see how many BASE miles I built over the winter! Do you guys want to join in?

trainer time

I managed to spend 31:35 on the trainer last night. Why post the seconds? Because, it was hard to even get motivated to get on the thing in the first place. I made it 1:35 past 30 minutes before I gave up due to bordum and slight exhaustion. It did help that I discovered that I have the Verus network in HD now. I watched the 1st period of the Ducks vs the Stars. It helped.

It looks like the weather will break tomorrow. It will be WAAAAAAY too wet for dirt, so I'm thinking about hitting the west papio up to Bike Masters on sunday? Do you guys want to log some saddle time on Sunday? Skinny tires for me.

I love NE

17 today... Avg temp should be 37. I have said it before, "God, dislikes Mountain Bikers!"... Now I think that he just doesn't like any of us.

My FELT F75 is on order boys! Dave @ Bike Masters hooked me up. It is supposed to be in on thursday or friday. What a great VD present! (It's ok to get yourself a VD present, right?)

At any rate, I intend to spend some time on the trainer tonight. May be the last time the '91 Specialized RockHopper see's the indoors. I will hang on to it though, as the BURLEY needs a bike to pull it!

Dave - check your email man!... I've invited you 10 times to be an author here. What else can I do?! (or should I just take the hint that you want no part of TEAMGIBSON? )

Yee haw! err, bummer trainer.

Just over 1hr tonight. 647 calories spent. I don't recall the HR info.

I think that the TOWER will allow a take off on Sunday. I hate to say it but, it will be my first time on the gravel!

trainer time logged

I was able to squeeze in 34 mins of goodness last night. Spinnervals 9/ NO MERCY was it.

Spent 19 minutes in the zone - burned 364 calories. um, that's three Bud Lights if you are counting. Per the weather man, we are in for a heat wave this weekend. Mid thirties on Saturday and Sunday - Will that be TOO WARM to ride outside?

I want to get out if I can!

yep, its nebraska

40 degrees 10 days ago. Rode the paved trail around Zorinksy, was only sketchy icy in a few spots. This won't happen for awhile.....

Today... 3 p.m starts snowing - ends tomoroow afternoon. 3-6" and high in the teens the next few days.

Greg, can I borrow a trainer DVD?
