I don&#8217;t know of a single person that loves extended spin sessions or two to three hours at a time on a stationary bike. Having high quality TV to watch only makes the experience endurable, not enjoyable.

Well worth the nearly frozen toes and fingers that are the price you pay. I know that my hard core friends are willing to strap themselves onto their fat bikes during almost any weather conditions but I fear a skid-out or other misfortune that could injure me in a way that could scuttle the trip I am training for. For now I&#8217;ll have to saddle up indoors, dream of the adventure ahead and enjoy season 3 of The Newsroom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you live in Ontario above Highway 7 and are getting in shape for a ride beginning in early March, the training sucks.
