I hear you on the boredom factor.
I certainly don't look forward to the trainer this winter. A necessary evil if I want to try and stay in shape. I run a couple of days a week and last year we mountain biked on friday mornings at 5 am, but that is tough to do too often as I would have to pack up the bike and drive 15 minutes across town to hit the trails.
During the spring and summer months we hit the roads at 5 am and do about 30 miles before work. But even now it is just way too dark that early to feel safe on the road. We've had a couple of close calls (getting run off the road by idiot drivers), hopefully which my wife will never hear about. Otherwise I'll be banished to the trainer forever.
