I consider rollers a must for a serious/semi-serious racer, at least for 
those living in hostile climes. They are good conditioning and help 
smooth out your stroke.

My experience has been that the two most useful enhancements to rollers 
are:

	[1] A fan, particularly if it's run off of the rollers.

	[2] Something to occupy the mind. Rollers get pretty boring otherwise.
	    My favorite is to run headphone connections and then listen to
	    an album side at a stretch. Rollering with someone else is good,
	    too.

For those who can't imagine sitting in the basement working away and going
nowhere, or who aren't as serious, how about cross country skiing as 
an alternative?

It's good to see that this group finally exists.
