Time for a Trainer

Personal trainer?  I wish... although I am a certified personal trainer and my passions include health and fitness.  What I need (maybe it's more of a want than a need) is a bike trainer.

I've worked out almost every day in my entire life.  Obviously, that is not an accurate statement.  Let me try again.  I love working out... actually, I'm really bored with my workouts and the 4:45 a.m. wake up call.  Final attempt-- because I'm bored with my usual routine, am trying to prepare for a 104-mile bike ride, and hate the cold weather, I need to buy a bike trainer.

Since I'm still new to the biking thing (it's much more complex than hopping on a bike and going for a ride), I asked my brother to look into some trainers.  The only reason I'm doing this is because it is almost impossible for me to get to spin class after work.  Not to mention that I prefer working out in the morning.

Here's the problem- the cheapest is around $150ish and I don't really want to spend a lot of money on a "good" one.  My friend at the bike shop said their trainers are going on sale this week, but I'll still spend at least $200.

It looks like I need to suck it up and just buy the darned thing.  I'll be able to ride more often, in the comfort of my home, and at 5 a.m.  Seems like a winning combonation, right?!?
