Hurray - The days are getting longer.
Still limited to indoor riding. Today, my diversion was the movie Rush, which is a about the rivalry between F1 drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Riding on rollers for two hours is always a challenge, mentally and physically. Racing scenes are even more difficult. As the cars are shown maneuvering through the apex of the corners, I found myself leaning the bike as if I was entering the turn or attempting to steer around cars blocking the road. It's just natural, but not a good idea when riding on eighteen inch wide cylinders that are fixed to go straight. On numerous occasions I caught myself just before riding off the side. Eventually I learned to look away from the screen during the driving scenes. FYI, this also applies to aviation videos.
