What did you learn today?

[sunchaser]

Me -

That you don't need to wear roubaix bib-tights & jersey on the turbo-trainer, no matter how cold you think it is in the garage

I could have told you that

I dont get the turbo trainer / spinning class thing - when you are out an about the airflow acts as cooling like on a cars radiator. Static turbo trainer and spinning classes just heat you up in a not very nice way

Correct - it was not a nice feeling In my defence it was my first ever session on a turbo trainer. Always shied away from such a torturous device in the past.

If you also decided it was your last turbo session you've learned two things today!

I learned that not all 7 speed freehubs are the same size.

And that if your leg hurts from a pratfall last week don't go riding, even if the sun is shining and it looks quite nice out and you really realty want to

Nitromors burns! Still, it'swicked stuff for removing paint.

If you lay a metal spatula on a ring on the cooker that is on it will be bloody hot when you go to pick it up.

I also learnt that cold water is a wonderful thing.

The two may be connected in some way.

You may also have learnt that a man's place is definitely not in the kitchen.

when i go on the static bikes in the GYM after just 10km i seem to have sweated out 80% of my bodily fluids!

i dont know about fitness, but they strip the water out of you :shock:

I learned a similar thing about metal and heat sources a while back, I now have aloe vera plants growing on my kitchen wondow sill should I ever feel the need to re-learn such lessons. I have learned that once you've done the cold running water thing for the required 15 minutes, aloe vera works wonders.
