Is anyone else suffering from a bout of bike downtime due to the snow? I had about two weeks when it was just too dodgy to venture out on the roads, so I resorted to using the turbo trainer in the back garden. Kept up more or less the same schedule, i.e four times a week, 90 - 120 mins a time. Every one was a pretty good work out. I even pushed settings up to maximum from time to time, so I could get up out of the saddle and mimic the hills etc.
First 'real' ride again on Saturday in the sunshine, normal 40 miler, and the next day my legs ached, two days after and it was worse. Almost like I'd not done any exercise for weeks!
There must be a secret to keeping your fitness up on the turbo?
