Today was my first indoor training ride of the 2012=13 season. I have set up the R3 as my winter bike this year, as last year my Tomasso gave me hip problems near the end. As I know the R3 and R5 are set-up correctly, I will simple use the R3 instead. Every mile I get out of the R3 is a bonus, so no real loss if the frame gets damaged in the trainer.
Another reason for riding indoors today was to sample the new sufferfest video; "There is no Try!" Longer progressive intervals with short rest periods were the norm with both flat sections at 100 rpm and hill climbs at 75 rpm, left my legs hurting a might. Although, this might have been due to the lack of riding over the last 2 weeks to a month.
Last week I stopped smoking cigars totally, and between that and Thanksgiving I have put on quite a bit of weight. I really need to eat less and ride more over the next 12 weeks before spring, as I am not sure I will make it over even a knoll.
I think I need to set up a schedule for my training, as I did not do that since last indoor season and it showed in my performance, and lack of progress.
Here is my ride today:
