| I hear ya! I've seen way too much of my trainer this winter! If you haven't tried them yet, I recommend the Spinervals DVDs for something different. I have an easier time working on the trainer (as opposed to "just riding along") when I have a coach telling me what to do. I have two rides planned so far for the spring: an organized 50km hilly ride in SE PA at the end of March, and the metric century option of the Tour de Cure in hilly eastern PA in May. Needless to say, I've been working hard on climbing-type workouts in order to get ready!!
By the way, re: the sweat: Watch out for things like handlebars and headsets! I worked with a guy at the bike shop who managed to corrode a headset in place on his bike. It required quite a bit of force (and a lot of drama!) to pry it out of the bike in order to replace it! Do you use a fan when you ride??
