It's unavoidable: some portion of my training plan takes place on a stationary trainer. Wether it's winter or summer, the trainer is useful for drills, base miles, or inclimate weather replacement rides. Anyone who's spent any amount of time on a trainer knows that this can be extremely BORING!! I've found that watching a couple of mountain bike videos on my laptop while on the trainer dramatically reduces the "bore level" and makes the time go faster and tollerable. Here's a few of mine that I've captured from my rides during the year. Some are casual rides and some are race video. I usually try to match my desired ride pace with the pace of a video (e.g. vigorous pace with a race video). More videos can be found on my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/lampenj
