No waffle attached to post Davey ? Im interested also as with the little nipper coming I fear my winter biking will take a hit. Im thinking I might invest in one to keep the legs ticking over. I was looking at this. Anyone got any opinions ? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/en/elite-volare-mag-force-elastogel/rp-prod89087. Stick it in the shed where its nice and cool maybe get one of those sufferfest videos it make it interesting ?

Cheers Davey, I'm in two minds now about it, although with eye stopping me getting out it might be only option until its sorted  >:(.

Seans comments about interval training seem good swayed me back onto it

Actually looking at exercise bikes now. Anyone got any opinions on them ? Some good deals going at the moment with heart rate monitor and digital times distance etc was thinking would be a better tool for training

Ah ha ha, Just get a turbo it'll get some use if you have it and can be folded away in the summer.
