I think there was a thread about this before, but I can't seem to find it.
Right now I live in a town that is around 20 minutes from a big city. Around us (in all the other directions) there are roads with nearly zero traffic. It's like paradise. You can ride for kilometers upon kilometers and not stumble upon a single motorist. 30K from here there is a HUGE (I'm talking 40k) hill. I've never climbed the whole thing, as it is around 12% steep in most places (some go up to 15%, some around 5%). We have the 2nd largest Triathlon club in the country, and the Sprint Distances National Champion trains with us.
And now because of my dad's job (doctor) we have to move an hour drive from here. This sucks so much I can't put it in words.
I found a swim team to train with, and a running team too. But my biggest concern is cycling, and I can't seem to find a way. You have to drive around 30 minutes to find a place that you can ride in (without getting killed by motorists).
I have a spinning bike and a trainer, but I can't seem to bring myself to sitting on one for more than 60-90 minutes.
Any suggestions as to what to do?
