I'll break it out this summer, of course I say that every summer along with, "this year I'm going to hit the golf courses at least twice a month." I've golfed 36 holes in the past 10 years.

You should look into making your own e-motion rollers. The actual 'inside ride' brand rollers are very pricey ($700) but some handy YouTubers have made excellent versions from old Kreitler rollers with pretty basic parts like roller blade wheels (to keep you from rolling off sideways), 2x4's and bungee cords. It's absoultely brilliant. If I didn't ride year-round I'd definitely make one. They're great at mimicking the natural forward motion of biking that you don't get with a bolt down trainer, less stress on the frame too.

But if you're more laid back type rider this type of set up with a flat screen TV is pretty cool.
