For those of you who don't have the luxury to continue to ride through the winter months, what does your training look like on the trainer?! I'm hoping to take from all your ideas and develop my own training schedule this winter.

how many days a week are you on the trainer?
what are you working on each time? what are you hoping to accomplish?
do you watch DVD's/listen to iPod?
what do you like to eat pre, during and post ride?
how long are your workouts?

I was warned that when I got my trainer last year, to not spend a ton, as it would just be an expensive dust collector. I'm determined to not let that be the case this winter!

Some questions that you may have for me.

My goal this off season is to not be so fat, I'm actually really good looking at any weight, but I'd prefer to shave off a few pounds. I'd also like to just become a stronger rider. Getting on the bike makes me happier and less irritable... it also helps me eat healthier for some reason.. provides motivation to exercise self control and not eat crap food. Anyway, enough rambling.
