Veteran 164 | Subject: RE: headwind on the trainer How do you not overheat ?? I have three box fans. 2 angled in front and 1 directly behind me (the tailwind makes me faster  ). |

| Member 107 | Subject: RE: headwind on the trainer I actually don't have a fan, never have had one. It is something that I have considered getting, I usually just open the door and let the sub-freezing temperatures cool me off some. Definitely get some major sweat during Jorge's winter program! |

Veteran 363 Alta | Subject: RE: headwind on the trainer I use none...Just let the sweat roll off. Helps me practice staying hydrated. |

| Subject: RE: headwind on the trainer I've got one of these:  In the winter I cannot turn it on 2 even for multi hour rides or I'll freeze. In the summer, if it's over about 100 degrees I need it on 3 but most other times it's on 2. Got it at Sam's Club. One of the best buys I've gotten. Prior to this one I had a standard box fan and literally left a puddle every time I rode. |

Pro 6520  Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: headwind on the trainer I don't use a fan because I'm training for a warm weather HIM. But the trainer behind the sofa in the living room with TV angled just right looks awefully familiar. |

Extreme Veteran 837 Wellesley, Massachusetts | Subject: RE: headwind on the trainer We have a box fan, but our gym is in the attic and about 45 degrees unless you turn on the heat. And that's not a euphemism for pedaling faster  |
