Training outside on flat roads is mostly awesome, although you need a good headwind to simulate climbs. I trained at sea level on flat roads and wind for an epic ride involving 5 mountain passes and 15,000 feet of climbing (mostly above 6000’ elevation). This year I haven’t used the indoor trainer since early March, probably only trained inside 2 or 3 days.
There is a thread for those of us riding/training outside, here is a recent post I made
@Joelrivera - I didn’t renew my TR subscription (expiring today), and on Friday I deleted my data/account, and my forum login was tied to my TR account. Asked TR support if I could continue on the forum with that account, and they told me to create a new forum account. So the forum user formerly known as bbarrera is now WindWarrior.
