We review a new product from KOM Cycling – which is actually a new take on an old favorite. Their Indoor Trainer Block provides a sturdy base and three ride heights, and adds a rubberized bottom to protect your floors from scratches.

That’s quite a bit of climbing, with no single massive climb but rather continuous rollers throughout. The first 15 min or so involved steep climbs around the ski area, a rough
