After 30 minutes on rollers: Gosh!  That was boring!

After 30 minutes on the road: What?  It's over already?

I finally sold my rollers this past winter & was very glad to be
rid of them.  I think I'd used them 5-6 times in the 15 years I
owned them.  I'd rather go running than ride rollers or a wind
trainer, and I don't much enjoy running.
