On the Rollers

A pretty good base training week for Mr & Mrs ATHelite this week - into double figures in training hours despite Mrs ATHelite feeling slightly under the weather.

Our new toy this week was the Bike Rollers - a good alternative to sitting on the turbo - time flies by as you have to concentrate much more on actually staying upright so great for honing your balance & technique.

Mrs ATHelite has produced a 'Roller Mix' for the MP3 which really keeps you spinning away which she is threatening to unleash next Weds at the start of the EKRC 'Roller Nights' on Weds at the club.

Whilst I am more confident on them now, getting started is an interesting experience - the following YouTube clip is not dissimilar to my first attempt, resulting in a chest wound that looks like I've been speared by a Rhino as I landed on the back of a kitchen chair!
