Training

Hi all
I ride to work about 4 days a week, 7 miles each way on my Brompton, it takes about 35 minutes total, so not slow, but less quick than my road bike. So I get about 60odd miles this way.

I want to start training properly, but all the pre-baked training guides don't account for riding to work. I need to go easy on the way in, as I've a day of work to do. I can go quick on the way home, but I can't easily extend that ride. So I get two proper rides in the week, sometimes just a Sunday run.

Got some great books here. All of them are in excellent condition. All of them are half price or better.

Hi all after a year on the road, I'm now in the garage hitting the turbo. To be honest I find it boring, I guess I'm not alone. So, what music movies or other tips do you have for making those turbo sessions fly by?

Hi folks - I've just set up my indoor torture facility in the garage, and after the first ride I've already noticed a change in my rear tire. I know that wear is accelerated on a trainer, and plan to get a trainer tire this week. However - I need a spare wheel to put it on. It clearly doesn't need to be an amazing one, and I'd like to keep the cost of it down as much as possible. It'll need an Ultegra standard 10 speed cassette on it.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I'd like to increase my maximum leg speed, I have a road bike and a set of rollers, any suggestions?

I thought a spinning class would be a good idea, I went to my gym and said I wanted to increase my maximum leg speed and that I currently spin out at 180-185 rpm on my bmx and they said they couldn't help as they don't go up that high, do you guys have any suggestions?

Hello all - I'm in the market for an indoor trainer and having initially very much fancied the Revolution, the jet like howl it produces plus the fairly stone age computer are putting me off. I'm also looking at the CycleOps range, but it's irritating that I'll require a spare back wheel with a trainer tyre (although this'll still be cheaper than the Revolution).
