I had some funky job hours last year that got severely in the way of group rides and riding during daylight hours. It's almost pointless to keep track of trainer miles, but I probably spent about the same amount of time on the road and on my trainer. IMHO, the idea of a "first" trainer seems to imply that you either want to upgrade later or don't think they'll last. Between the KK and Fluid 2, either of those would be...

Used may be a good option, cheap ones can really be a waste of money since the tendency if they don't work well is not to use them.

Could be sugar or low sodium but go get tested. l get dizzy spells basicly everyday from standing up too quickly, lots of athletes get this as well as non athletes from a quick drop then rise in blood pressure, there's only one way to put your mind at ease.

MTB club plus all the testing equipment we need like bod pod, and output testing , VO2max and such so I will get in early January for testing and maybe a trainer for a month to make sure I am training correctly. Thanks for your replies.

Yeah, the $64 seems worth it- two computer license now (smart) and you can easily activate/deactivate from your computer (nice for swapping in a new main rig). Been using it since the early versions- good stuff.

How do I go "hard enough" without going anerobic? I'm specifically trying NOT to go too hard right now, while I build "aerobic" base. If I go "harder" I'm going to move into Anerobic zones. Should I just be going longer (more hours...

Thanks for all the responses. I've lost a lot of weight sensibly and slowly in the past, so I have the discipline and knowledge to take care of that. I just didn't want to create totally unreasonable expectations in my head and then be disappointed at my power capabilities leading into racing season.
