Day 53 - Indoor Trainer

I set up my mountain bike on an indoor trainer at my house this weekend. I bought the trainer from friend at work who doesn't ride much anymore. I went by BikeMasters and bought a tire without any knobbies to use as the rear tire. I slapped on a gel cushion seat and got on and pedaled for a 25-minute ride on Saturday evening. Not wanting to overdo it like my first ride on a stationary bike, I spun at a relatively easy pace. After I finished I felt good. It was great to get back on my mountain bike again, even if it was indoor and I didn't go anywhere. The thing I liked about using the trainer was I didn't have to put all my biking gear on, except for my shoes. I'll probably do all of my training on the indoor trainer until I'm ready for the trails. I'm trying to stay away from sidewalks. They haven't been too friendly to me lately.
