I thought about getting a fat bike, but then after talking with the LBS guys, I think a nice MTB with 29ers on it might work better for me. I'd be more apt to go out on cold days and hit the trails if I had one.

My trainer rides are usually 45 mins at about 80%. That gets me 15 "miles" as far as Zwift is concerned. Some days I get two rides in. When the weather allows outside rides, I usually do 25 miles in a little over an hour. Those rides take a lot more out of me, so I get a couple of rest days per week when riding outside.
