Eureka, discovered secret to 5 hour trainer ride Can't Post

After the 3rd hour, replace Gatorade with beer.

Worked wonders this evening.

Glad to see that this worked out better for you than for me:

Item number five on my original post was, in fact, before a trainer workout.

Why the initial 3-hr wait?

Damn good question, experiments will be conducted, reports will be filed.

This actually requires a sizable focus group. I call for Slowman to step in and evaluate all the variables e.g. duration, wattages relative to beer type etc.

Beer nothing, I'd need LSD to do a 5 hour trainer ride.

Its the other way around. After 5 hours you feel like you had dropped some acid already.

I've never done acid, but I can tell you after 5 hours on the trainer you aren't in the same place you started, that's for sure.

Just one of those things.

Needed one last long ride before Wisconsin, showers were in the forecast, got delayed at the office, shaky stomach, one thing after another. In other words, I p******d out.

Stayed inside, drank beer.

Ahh, I finally understand Kurt's "crash replacement" policy for their Kinetic trainers.

Come think of it, the damn thing started wobbling on me towards the end.

I can't wait to try this...can't imagine how much beer I'll go through in 3 hours though. Getting off the bike could be an issue. I think adding some wings to the mix is going to far though...

Experimentation is key, remember to report back in order for us to validate the results.
