The photograph for today’s blog was my view during the cool down on my two hour trainer ride.  As winter approaches, I have the prospect of many hours ahead of me, with this exact same view.  

Passing time while on the trainer, usually requires something to distract you from the monotony of cycling in one spot.  A lot of my friends and teammates are using Zwift to pass the time.  I have not yet made the move to Zwift, because I like the discipline of following workouts on TrainerRoad.  It also means, I can do other things to help me get through long rides.

Today, I was able to watch football and football.  I started off watching the English Premier League (football in my home country of England) and later watched College Football (football in my adopted country of USA).

I was also able to call into a Zoom meeting with a few of my C26 teammates.  One of them was doing a Virtual Ironman 70.3 race and wanted company, while he was on the bike leg.  It was great to just dial in and talk with friends.

Consistent bike trainer rides also allow you to watch lengthy series on services like Netflix.  I have started watching ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ this week… I like it a lot.

How do you pass the time while on your bike trainer?
