Weight training makes the rollers fun!!!

I've just begun the winter off season with the usual dreams of great gains in power and endurance before the spring road season. I have a new plan of attack, that will include weight training for the first time ever. Yesterday was the first time in years that I have picked up a weight. And today I had to fall out of bed, because sitting up (due to ab crunches) was not an option! This painful training session had one great result that I had not planned on. Lifting weights yesterday made riding the rollers today a pure joy......
I hope to get out on as many outside rides as weather and time permit. This is my usual off season. Just ride as much as possibe. But the race results the last two yrs have proven this un affective.
So extra effort is needed!! And a few pounds off the mid-section might help me hang onto the tail of the race a little longer. Thanks for reading. Ty
