It is starting to be inside riding time

Last week we had beautiful temperatures, which means it is not raining and above 50 degrees F.  The cold air makes it hard to breathe as it constricts my airways. A couple of bikes are in the garage and I brought one inside to be on the trainer until the temperatures become consistently warmer again.

My tour bike on a resistance trainer provides a good workout.

The workouts on this set up provide spinning practice. About every 30 minutes I will get off and walk around and use different muscles.  When you ride outside there a various opportunities to give your legs a break. I enjoy having a window to look out during the rides. The cable on the floor is the controller for changing the resistance in the unit. The regular bike gears may be changed during your session.

Outside rides breeze by very quickly for me, but on the trainer I find the time dragging.  I have had great luck finding  YouTube videos that show rides and I can feel like I am out in the woods on the trail.

The recumbent trainer that I also use during the inside season.

The recumbent position uses some different muscles. The resistance is also greater than on the other trainer. I like having this option to add variety. There are multiple training programs available on this unit.

This screen shows a ride in Utah.  There are many places that I will never get a chance to ride. Some others would be too technical or too high of altitude to allow me to breathe.  Seeing these places while I ride is enjoyable.
