My Kurt kinetic is the best trainer I’ve ridden although I haven’t tried the new $1,000 computer controlled trainers. I hate using it. The longest I’ve ever ridden it is 40 minutes and usually I can’t stand more than 20 minutes.

I road this morning bundled up for 45 degrees but it quickly became 55-60 so I sweated. 40-45 is easily doable with long tights, a long under jersey, long sleeve jersey, winter riding gloves and maybe a vest.

You live in the city so on crappy days and dark evenings you could ride the picnic loop at Memorial Park.
