Free Online Training Videos

I spend a lot of time on my rollers.  I have a number of printed workout training modules, however I also use a number of free online training videos.  For those of you that are interested check out my Information / Resources Page for great work out videos.

Starting Them Young

Rollers Versus Trainers - Revisted

I have rollers but am thinking about getting a trainer (AGAIN).  I need to step up my game.  Either I'm slowing down in my "Golden Years" or the guys I ride with are just getting faster and faster. 

I am not sure if a trainer will benefit me any more than my rollers.  I spoke with a guy at Incycle and he said stick to the rollers and download some training videos from www.TheSufferfest.com.  I think I'll give this a try before giving up on the rollers.



*** I really enjoy the rollers and they have helped a lot.  The guy at Incycle told me to save my money because, in his opinion, rollers are the way to go.  My biggest concern is how to simulate climbing exercise on them.

Rollers and Beyonce

I don't know, maybe she's been on those rollers to long.  It just shows its time to get outside.

My Weekday Rides

My weekday rides are almost 100% done on the rollers.  

Between work and family, I am left with little time to ride.  Its amazing I can ride at all given my hectic schedule but riding helps center me.  Riding resets the day.

I just bought a cyclo-computer so I am interested in how many miles I actually ride.  I spend most of my weekday evenings on the rollers. 

Success, I Ride the Tall Bike on Rollers!

I blame Richard for this one...  I rode the tall bike on my rollers!

I am not sure how or why, but Richard came over and we got to talking bikes.
 
I was setting up my rollers for my evening workout and the topic of CicLAvia and my tall bike came up. THEN the topic of how do I balance on the rollers. AND THEN one topic lead to another and somehow I decided to try riding the tall bike on the rollers.

I wasn't sure how to mount the tall bike once it was on the rollers but with some quick ingenuity, a cheap plastic chair, and pull up bars and I was ready to go!

I have to admit, I was scared!  It's really high up there and twitchy.  I think with more practice and more confidence, I could ride the rollers longer.  I was too nervous which made it difficult to focus, but I did manage to ride the rollers for a few seconds!

Richard was the cameraman and Jamie was back up in case I fell.
