Christmas list

I typically subscribe to this: "Everyone should get a new bike every year" (**disclaimer so that I don't conflict with my previous post: Everyone should get a new bike every year because its always fun to get a new bike.**)

But, if you don't have a new bike in your future, Santa's money is best spent on a set of rollers. Bang for the buck, the cycleops rollers are great. When the weather outside is frightful this time of year, time on the rollers will make spring time riding a new found joy. Dollar for dollar, these are a great gift.

If you have more money to spend, there is a combination of things to consider for indoor training. Ergvideo has a library of videos that work in collaboration with the Computrainer. These are videos of various types of training rides, group rides or races. The videos are rather inexpensive at approx $45 a piece. The Computrainer will set you back about $1500. I have six videos and purchased each of them to focus on a specific aspect of cycling. Cycling indoors is a difficult proposition for those of us who live in the South. But, the Ergvideos make it a bit more interactive and enjoyable.
