According to my Garmin, I lose altitude on the IDT.
I lose attitude on an IDT!
I'd rather get rained/snowed on or get blixemed by the Cape Doctor (getting blixemed by two capies wasn't fun) than sit on that boring thang!

Thanks for that link to the climbing calculator.
Hells bells I clicked on that link and saw how much the 400 spinning bike costs u's in SA,.....
EDIT: Removed comment about spinning bike being expensive, was comparing the cost of the 300 to 400 which is a slightly different beast.

How can you 'climb' on an IDT - boggles the mind .....

Step 1 > BB under the front wheel
Step 2 > Crank up the resistance
Downhilling is another question tho.....
Oh yes BB = Beeeg Book

me neither. assumed it was 0 as my floor is pretty level and the trainer never seems to move much.
I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much.

no indoor experience can come close to climbing real hills. nothing further to discuss.
