Trainer
Yesterday, a friend of mine dropped off a trainer. I have it on loan until she and her husband either want it back or decide they need money (or I choose to offer to buy it). Today, since my day was a bit wierd and I couldn't take off early and ride in the beautiful sunshine, so I hooked up my trusty steed and tried it out.
I can't say it was a pleasure, but I can say I worked out. I set my tv to SciFi and watched Stargate SG1, then upped the pressure and cadence through the commercials. An hour later, drenched in sweat, I ended my workout. Sure, I could have chosen to make it a two hour ride but the bike doesn't move with me on that thing, and it didn't make for a joyful ride. I think I can handle an hour at a time through the dark and cold days to keep myself sharp though. That regular commercial sprinting is especially good. High intensity interval training... maybe it'll help improve my stamina/recovery rate.

a solid hour on a trainer is generallymore productive than an hour on the bike outside since you dont coast nearly as much on a trainer...
remind me when i'm online to give you a great 1hr workout our coach just gave us for the offseason. i thin you'll like.
