Err my advice to u is to start enjoying the thinks ur new found fitness can bring u, in my first year I rode hard did all my work on MTB, was super keen to do any MTB race got a road bike and had a go at that. New year, new frame of mind, doing all the thinks I've always wanted to do but wasn't fit enough or had problems doing, have run 2 trail runs and a marathon and would like to give the dusi a go. Still ride 5 days a week on the bike as it's what I love to do, but have cancelled my stage racing for otter trail, brakensburg and killi hikes and climbs. It's become more about creating memories with friends and experiencing different thinks in life, it's no longer about how fast I can ride but getting the most out of the experience. I don't think 94.7 and argus are good markers on how strong u can ride they just to big and not stoping and drinking that beer on the side of the road with some guy u don't know seem to me like a wasted opportunity to partake in the good will these events generate. Bit off topic and may not be relevant, so no I don't think u need a trainer not like u gonna win it. Too many race snakes out there already.
