You know what makes 40 min on the rollers tolerable? Fugazi. That's what.
For those of you who have never tried rollers, I captured a portion of my session on film. Notice how narrow these things are. You can't drift too much any either direction without paying for it.

i bought the e-motion rollers after seeing them on eldon's blog. then i sold them last spring to get a superfly. and then i got another set this week. they are in a word, awesome.
you have to try VERY hard to ride off the side and you can basically forget you're on rollers. i love them. makes winter training much more enjoyable. like say getting a filling vs. getting a root canal.
I was surprised you weren't at the Squaw Peak ride. I guess something came up.
Those a rollers, they are a crazy. If you guys like rolling them, that's cool. But I like my old trainer so I can concentrate on hammering intervals and suffering.
I had not heard of Fugazi so I looked them up and listened to a few samples. Yeah, I think that will keep the tempo up.
I think just trying to balance alone would keep my attention.
andy- I watched Elden ride his last year. They are pretty amazing. He could have eaten a ham sandwich while riding.
Enjoy your winter training.
KK- yeah, my daughter got really sick. I was staying home playing nurse.
Brandon- You need to come borrow these things. They are a trip.
I wasn't going to say anything but 40 minutes??
Man, You sweat alot in a minute 44.
Hey andy, I think you're having the wrong people do your root canals. :)
That's the ticket! I've been trying to figure out how to pass an hour of riding inside on my trainer or spin bike. Now I know how YOU do it. Every single amount of energy is focused on staying on your bike on those rollers. That looks crazy hard!
One of the things I figured out about rollers a long time ago is that it's much easier to ride them when you are looking forward; like when you're on the road ... except since you aren't on the road, you need something on which to focus your attention.
TVs are marvelous at this, except I too often find I'd rather stare at the TV from the comfort of my couch.
I was hoping the video would show you with your helmet on while on the rollers.
I like your taste is music. Fugazi is the best for working out.
