Rolling rolling rolling....

Rolling, rolling, rolling
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them doggies rolling

That song about a cattle drive, the Blues Brothers version, was echoing in my head as I tried the new (used) rollers I picked up this week.


My road bike was getting a tuneup at East Coasters, expected back today, but I got it back yesterday and gave the rollers a try right away. I arranged the playroom so I was safely (sort of) sandwiched between the wall and the attractive green leather couch.

I should have probably worn the stuffed dog for extra protection.


This is going to take a little time to master, I can see. Staying in the middle of the rollers is tricky part it's hard to imagine doing this all clipped in, or doing so without razor-sharp zen focus. I can't see doing this and say...watching TV...or watching anything but that front drum! I'm envisioning a safety harness going up to the attic rafters....

Aw, really, I like a challenge and am glad to have the rollers! For now I will just stick to short sessions to get the hang of it since I need to be careful till I get through the Beach2Battleship half. And I will try not to bleed on the wall any more. Or anywhere else.
