Not quite quit no, but I don’t use a trainer and don’t want to get one. I do almost all my training outdoors.
BUT I did pick up some rollers last year off here for £20 tho and I actually use them at least once a week and like them. Feel they’ve improved my riding too, could barely do it at first.
If I had a garage or something maybe I’d get a turbo, but I’ve already got enough bikes I don’t ride and plenty of winter kit. Plus it’s good for me to get out properly.
Few mates have even offered me their old ones for free but I still say no.

I have a set of rollers that I barely use, but it would be good to get confident on them for race warm ups (mainly track at HHV). Do you use a powermeter with them, or just RPE? How structured are your sessions?
Why?
AI FTP potentially too high after a few weeks off due to sickness (although it did come down a fair bit). But generally I just can't motivate myself to ride in 10+ minute blocks indoors. I used to find TR a novelty and have used it successfully previously.
Fuck that.

Has anyone 'quit' indoor training? Even with the roads covered in ice I can't bring myself to set up the trainer and do a ride.
Did an easy TR sweet spot ride on Friday which I kinda hated and all I've thought about since is that I could buy a new MTB fork for what I'd sell my Kickr for.
The worst is the anxiety that I should be training with it, as it sits dusty in the corner. I'm a member of a cycling club and when the roads aren't covered in ice can and do regularly attend mid-week training sessions, as well as sessions at HHV.
Anyone else come back from this and enjoyed/been motivated to train indoors, or do I admit it's not for me?
