Amen. Definitely my type of "training". That's why I've never trained before. But also never had this long without riding too. Didn't think to actually get the set up on. I usually just get on with it when it comes around. But all sage advice, thank you.
@dbr don't worry about the trainer road stuff. I'll likely take the @hippy approach.

Yeah i forget others people get to train outdoors still ☹️ all good points riding your bike is good and fun especially now the weather is nice and makes you better at it. Turbo trainers are really boring even if they are good if your time crunched. Crashing slows you down and it hurts.
Loading up a bike will affect its handling negatively and how much effort it takes to get it over a hill. Chucking on a heavy backpack for the first time on a ride might fuck your back. Saddle height/angle and front end reach /drop even cleat set up problems will catch up with you on a long ride. Get some quality bibs and socks and eat and drink plenty as well
