If this thing is everything that it says, I am seriously considering
getting it. I try and ride outdoors as much as possible, even in the
cold winter months. However, trainer rides are a big part of my
cycling, even in the summer. According to the site, this trainer has
"courses" that you ride, and the trainer adjusts the resistance
accordingly. This would absolutely make indoor rides more enjoyable
and less boring. What does everyone think?

Not that I know ANYTHING about ANYTHING that has to do with state of
the art bicycle equipment...(I still have not figured out my Enduro 8.
The 8 function/8 feature Cyclocomputer. It sits alone in the box it
came in waiting for me to try again.
BUTTTTTTT....(As said in Pee Wee's Big Adventure..."Everyone has a big
BUT".....I would rather buy a really great purse than whatever the hell
that thing is you want to buy. Somethings can be a little too high tech
in my opinion. That is my 2 cents and it's not even worth 2 cents.
Spring will come again. I have faith. That's my story and I'm sticking
to it.... :-)
Maggie

THE SPRING will come again, dear friends,
The swallow o'er the sea;
The bud will hang upon the bough,
The blossom on the tree;
AND we will all ride again. Outdoors!
Maggie

Hummmm....a bit harsh don't you think?? I won't be as harsh, but ome
things..like the internet used to be a little high tech for most
people...but that seemed to change huh?

Anyway, maybe this "thing" you refer to will be the norm in a few
years..maybe all bike trainers will be like this and working out on my
trainer will have more of a purpose than just sweating my @ss off!

I don't take the winter off from riding outdoors, but there are days
when only the trainer will do. Any yes Maggie...spring will come
again..and we will ride outdoors. However, the purse you say I should
buy will not help me get up that 7% grade 2 mile climb that I suffer up
every spring while I get my legs back.

....sorry for the bit of attitude, but your response was't what I was
expecting either.

little whinelet.

Classic.

?? I don't understand..what do you mean?

...I forgot...can we discuss opinions regarding this trainer?? After all
that is why I posted in the first place. I hate it when posts go
totally off topic like this one is starting to do.
Thanks for any feedback!

Did I go off topic? Highly unusual. Read my MO...I am always off
topic. Don't take it so personally. Life is short.

Forgot what? The subject? What we were talking about? What trainer? Whose
opinions.

How could a thread NOT go totally off-topic, you don't quote from the previous
message so nobody knows what you might be talking about.

I love when threads go off topic to something bizarre.....it makes my
otherwise tedious 9 to 5 job go faster. I keep this NG open in windows
and go back to it when I need a break. Seems I am taking too many
breaks lately. What were we talking about? Oh the trainer. He was
really hot. I think he was the one who trained Lance Armstrong for the
Tour de France if I remember correctly. ;-)
