I’ve tried parenting from the trainer, often failed.
I’ve also succeeded at trainering in running shoes and jeans (way different than actually training) while drinking a beer and telling the kids to clean the basement before I rode a mile… A whole different type of “how fast can you clean this basement up?” contest. #parentingwin, #recoverymiles
Or the kid comes to tell me everything on his mind and gets mad as I don’t hear what he says. Or can’t answer with more than a grunt.
Shouldn’t everyone that has done Disaster be in this thread?
Along with a couple of 100+ “mile” rides on Zwift. 5+ hours on a trainer is no joke, but it sure is silly. 
I think anybody who wrenches a lot has done one of those or other equivalents (such as leaving the chain outside the FD fork) at one point.
Dumbest thing I’ve ever done on a trainer???
Gendarme +4 … or Wright Peak +2 – it’s a toss up.
I did 103 miles on a spin bike, alone in a spin class room. It was funny at the end, in a One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest sort of way
