New Trainer!

I set up my new indoor bike trainer, a sleek Fluid2 from CycleOps. I love it. It was a gift from a dear friend (thank you!).

The set up was a little rough. Though very simple in theory, the one bolt that holds the whole thing together was very tricky to get into the specific place it had to be. Ah well, all things considered, it's a very clever contraption.

Rode to Spinervals 16, another great new toy. Big fan of the host. The format of the video is well thought out and includes no extra fluff. It's just functional, and that makes it perfect for training.

The ride was harder than it probably should have been, I think I tightened the resistance wheel too much and it created a bit more resistance than necessary. I was doing a lot of sweating too. A good experience though. Especially after I stopped worrying that I was going to fly off the trainer and ride through my living room wall! Kept the heart rate in zone 2.
