So I actually got back on the trainer today after a two week or so break. Man, I hate that thing. It’s a torture device, but I know that if I keep at it during the cold months it’ll pay off in the warm ones.

Got a Trainer and Loving The Option
So I just bought a used trainer for my bike. It’s going to be great for the winter when I can’t get out riding. Since it’s “new,” I’ve been using it the past few days to get the hang of it.

The Fall Is Here And So Is The Wind
So we’re due to get a hurricane or a tropical storm in the next day or so. That explains the amount of wind out there. My God it’s windy. Today I ended up just doing a circuit for 4 miles around the neighborhood. Wish I could have done more, but something is better than nothing. I practiced my handling going in a circuit, which was good practice. so I got some benefit from the ride.

That’s all for now.
