I did an easy 35 minutes on the trainer at lunchtime on Wednesday. I then went to Wheelie Fun Wednesday night to ride the rollers to a Joe Friel video (I think Anaerobic Power) and with a few of our summer Wednesday night ride guys. Everyone else were on trainers but I decided to do the rollers (I didn't feel like unhooking the trainer bike and throwing it in the car). Its just easier the do a hard indoor ride when others are suffering with you.

I did another very easy 45 minutes on the trainer Thursday afternoon. Later, we went to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert. This was the first time I had seen the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The show was great.

I was not planning to ride at all on Friday night but I decided to get on the trainer at around 7:00 PM. I put in the DVD "Hell on Wheels" on the TV and AC/DC in the headphones and ended up doing a hard hour and 10 minutes on the trainer. Hell on Wheels follows the T-Mobile team during the 2003 Tour De France. Its subtitled (sound is in German) and I think it really shows how much Tour rider have to go suffer just just to stay in the race, let alone win it. I have always been a huge Erik Zabel fan but this movie made me an ever bigger fan of Zabel.
