Rollers

Tonight was my first 90 minute indoor training ride. On the Phinney on rollers. The others (2) were on CycleOps stationary trainers, think spinning class bikes. I had brought pedals if there was adjustability to the saddle height other than the 1" spaced holes the pin goes through on most stationary bikes. The posts had crappy saddles on them too so I opted for their rollers. The rollers were better than my Kreitlers. You might ask "how is that possible?" It was the suspension system it had which enabled me to get out of the saddle without crashing. The rollers were able to move fore and aft roughly 4 inches which was really cool. 30 or 45 minutes would be my threshold on my Kreitlers before my taint would be screaming. 90 minutes was still hard with the friction set and a triathlete leading the class. It left my legs feeling as though I'd done a race. And then I rode the half hour home. All in all a good workout, I'll be back for more.
